TUESDAY, MAY 4 | TOYOTA PRESENTS: CINEMA MUSICA! | 9:15 PM | DWNTN
CINEMA MÚSICA returns with a fresh new lineup of music videos! Despite the ability to view music videos in HD or HQ quality on YouTube, isn’t it just so much better (and more fun) to watch them on a big screen where we can truly appreciate the quality of work?

We are very proud to bring the Philly love back to my home town of the City of the Angels with the debut of Taiyo Na‘s Lovely to Me (Immigrant Mother) at Cinema Musica!
The Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival is one of my favorite film festivals because of its rich diversity in programming and connection to the community as well as the industry. Visual Communications spearheads this event and every year does an amazing job and this festival is only a small part of the extraordinary work they do.
Many thanks to Grace Su for highlighting our little music video:
