Eat With Me
a David Au film.

Los Angeles, CA - EAT WITH ME is the promising directorial and writing debut of David Au. It had its World Premiere at the 20th Los Angeles Film Festival and audiences adored it!

It's easy to see why. In EAT WITH ME, Au has done a superb job in presenting familial and personal issues that are true for humanity as a whole: the longing for real love, the pursuit of happiness, and the desire to be accepted.

SYNOPSIS: Emma's (Sharon Omi) life is so bland that the only way she can spice it up is to add hot sauce to everything she eats. A middle-aged empty nester, she leaves her loveless marriage and winds up crashing in her son Elliot's apartment. Elliot (Teddy Chen Culver) runs the family restaurant, a floundering Chinese greasy spoon. But mother and son have grown apart over the years. Emma is old-world traditional; Elliot is gay. Their one common denominator is a love of food.

Soon, however, Emma will have to confront her son's sexuality. When Elliot meets a handsome young musician who is looking for more than a one-night stand, things come to a head. In desperation, Emma turns to Elliot's eccentric yogi neighbor, Maureen (Nicole Sullivan), who takes Emma on a hilarious odyssey of alcohol, asanas, and opening up to life. Meanwhile, Elliot, in danger of losing the restaurant, is in panic over his fear of commitment and is desperate to please his mother.

At EAT WITH ME's premiere, David Au, cast members and principals pleased moviegoers by taking a few moments to walk the Red Carpet. The IN Show had the pleasure to both snap some photographs and interview David, as well as EAT WITH ME's producer - Joyce Liu-Countryman, and actress Nicole Sullivan.
