Yang and friends
“The Blood of Yingzhou District” director Ruby Yang, with Humphrey Wou, AIDS Relief Fund for China Program Director, enjoyed a sold-out screening of the AIDS documentary at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Monday, Nov. 27. The Asia Society sponsored the showing and the crowd was a mix of friends of Yang’s friends — Roger Garcia, Corey Tong, Sharon Silva, as well as Asia Society members and people who saw it in the paper. Producer Thoma Lennon came out from New York for the screening and Humphrey Wou handled the discussion after the film. Yang and her husband Lambert Yam moved to Beijing two years ago and are making PSAs about AIDS that are being shown on Chinese TV. In addition, Thomas Lennon and Ruby are making a film about gay life in Beijing. (Photo by Pamela Gentile; report courtesy Karen Larsen)
