"BROWN SOUP THING"

This mysterious title not only can be identified with that yummy dish you can't quite remember the name of...from that one restaurant...it's an emerging Asian American feature film The Vice came across last month. "Brown Soup Thing", written, directed and produced by Edward J. Mallillin, was featured at the 2010 Delray Beach Film Festival on March 27 as one of the most sought after films, due to the record breaking attendance in Los Angeles, Chicago and Las Vegas. The Vice attended the film in support of a friend and fellow cast member Julius Mayo Jr.


"Brown Soup Thing" is a comedy/drama about a dysfunctional, yet pretty normal, Filipino American family who is forced to individually recognize what their heritage means thanks to the youngest family member's school project on what it means to be a Filipino American. The emerging cast held an interesting record with male and female actors featured on Hi-5, Deal or No Deal, and the Bold and the Beautiful. And, lets not forget the amusing cameos especially from the great boxer Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao. Overall this film appeals to any individual with a diverse racial background and the struggle to find the balance between loving one's heritage and living the American dream.
