Flashback Friday - Starring Jerry As Himself
from Bitch Talk Podcast Hosted by Erin & Ange, Jonathan Hsu, Jerry Hsu, Law Chen
Send us Fan Mail Welcome to Flashback Friday! We're highlighting one of our favorite documentaries from the Slamdance Film Festival in 2023, Starring Jerry as Himself, which is available to watch right now, wherever you stream films. In Starring Jerry as Himself (winner of the Slamdance Grand Jury Documentary Feature Film Award, Audience Award for Documentary Feature Film, and Acting Award), the genre lines become blurred between one part crime thriller, and one part documentary. Retiree and Chinese immigrant, Jerry Hsu, is joined by his family in retelling the story of how he was recruited by the Chinese police to be an undercover agent. We were joined by director Law Chen, Jerry, and his son/producer Jonathan Hsu, to discuss why they decided they needed to tell this story, how their family has grown closer throughout this process, and the complicated nature of filming real people playing themselves.
