Film Independent Members, you and a guest are invited to join us for a theatrical screening of Rosemead, followed by an in-person conversation with actress/producer Lucy Liu.

Inspired by a 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). As his dark obsessions grow and time runs out, she is forced to make impossible choices: how far will she go and what is she willing to sacrifice? Set against the simmering tensions of a Chinese American community, Rosemead is a gripping portrait of a family pushed to the edge.

From Vertical, the film premiered at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival and will be released on December 5.
