   Hi,   
      
   My name is Tae and I am the outreach coordinator for the new indie SF   
   feature film "Robot Stories" which begins its theatrical run in   
   February 2004.   
      
   Billed as "science fiction from the heart," "Robot Stories" stars   
   Tamlyn Tomita ("Joy Luck Club," "Karate Kid II"), Sab Shimono   
   ("Waterworld," "The Big Hit"), Wai Ching Ho (Best Actress, St. Louis   
   International Film Festival and Puchon International Fantastic Film   
   Festival), and director Greg Pak in four stories in which utterly   
   human characters struggle to connect in a world of robot babies and   
   android office workers.  John Petrakis of the Chicago Tribune named   
   the film "one of the most moving pieces I've seen all year" while   
   Entertainment Insiders calls it "the kind of science fiction   
   sophisticated audiences crave and deserve." Writer and director Pak   
   grew up reading 50s-era science fiction writers like Ray Bradbury and   
   watching shows like "The Twilight Zone" -- like these science fiction   
   classics, "Robot Stories" explores the emotional ramifications of   
   technological change in concise, entertaining, and satisfying   
   vignettes.  The film has been a huge hit with science fiction   
   audiences around the world, winning audience awards at the Boston   
   Fantastic Film Festival and the Fantastisk Film Festival in Sweden as   
   well as the Best Director and Best Actress awards of the Puchon   
   International Fantastic Film Festival in South Korea and five (count   
   'em, five!) awards at the Shockerfest Film Festival in California.   
      
   The film opens in New York City in February 13th and in Washington   
   D.C. in February 20th.   
      
   Currently I am looking for engineering societies and clubs devoted to   
   artificial intelligence and robotics that may be interested in   
   inviting us to present our film before the members, audiences and   
   attendees. The director Pak will attend your event to present the   
   film.   
      
   If you are an executive member or staff at engineering societies and   
   clubs devoted to artificial intelligence and robotics and are   
   interested in hosting a presentation of Robot Stories before your   
   members or audiences, please don't hesitate to reach me.
