Rosemead, the feature film debut by Grad Film alum Eric Lin, opens on Friday, December 5th, in NYC at AMC Lincoln Square, and on Friday, December 12th, in Los Angeles at AMC Century City. Lucy Liu and the cast & crew will be doing live Q&As at select screenings on opening weekend in both cities. The film opens in additional cities in January 2026.

Grad Film alumni crew credits include:

Eric Lin ’06 (MFA, Graduate Film), Director/Writer/Executive Producer

Inspired by the harrowing true story, Lucy Liu transforms in a riveting, career-redefining performance as an ailing woman who takes drastic measures to protect her troubled teenage son (Lawrence Shou). Set against the simmering tensions of a Chinese American community in the San Gabriel Valley, Rosemead is a gripping portrait of a family pushed to the edge. 

Rosemead premiered at the Tribeca Festival, won the Locarno Film Festival's Prix du Public UBS audience award and Bentonville Film Festival's Best Narrative Feature award, and was nominated for Taipei Golden Horse Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.
