Giant Robot is proud to host a DVD launch for Children of Invention, which premiered at Sundance in 2009. Tze Chun's "fine feature debut" (NY Times) is by turns humorous and heartbreaking, an "urgent, artful" (Variety) film about two children who fend for themselves when their mother gets hooked by a pyramid scheme and disappears.

"As willing to point out the shortcomings of the victims as well as the system that is failing them, the filmmaker succeeds in making a complex film with limited resources, an abundance of heart, and few clear-cut answers." - Giant Robot

The reception will include actors Crystal Chiu and Cindy Cheung, director Tze Chun and producer Mynette Louie, who will be available to sign copies of the new DVD.

Giant Robot was born as a Los Angeles-based magazine about Asian, Asian-American, and new hybrid culture in 1994, but has evolved into a full-service pop culture provider with shops and galleries in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City, as well as an online equivalent.

The signing will take place from 6:00 to 8:00 PM on Saturday, August 14.
