We've all seen movies about sending kids to summer camp.  But you've probably never seen a film about a bunch of American teens of Korean descent being sent to South Korea for the summer to get immersing the culture.  Either way, it's still very John Hughes.  David Poland talked to writer/director Benson Lee and star Justin Chon about the film and their experiences as Koreans in Hollywood just before they headed off to premiere the film at Sundance.

Shot in Los Angeles, January 2015
