🎬 #VAFFAlumni Spotlight Watch "A Great Divide" online though Prime, Apple TV, Google play, etc.... The Lees start anew in Wyoming but encounter hostility in A GREAT DIVIDE. How they confront this will break them or make them stronger. Buy or Rent Now on @primevideo @appletv @googleplay #agreatdivide @GravitasMovies https://shorturl.at/ttADs Synopsis: Benjamin Lee (Emerson Min, ALWAYS BE MY MAYBE), a Korean American teen recovering from devastating loss, leaves the Bay Area with his family for a fresh start in the rural expanses of Wyoming, where he encounters hostility from his new classmates and accidentally antagonizes the most powerful man in town. When his friend and secret crush Ellie (Miya Cech, BEEF) comes to visit, the pair uncover a plot to drive the Lees from their new home — by putting Ellie's life in danger. Saving her may require Benjamin to find common ground with his biggest tormentor, school golden boy Hunter Drake (West Mulholland, Steven Soderburgh's PRESENCE). This gorgeously shot exploration of loneliness, adolescent longing, the burden of being different and the legacy of generational trauma features phenomenal performances by a rising trio of young stars and a star-studded cast of veterans, including Ken Jeong (THE HANGOVER), Jae Suh Park (FRIENDS FROM COLLEGE), MeeWha Alana Lee (G20), Seamus Deaver (CASTLE) and Jamie McShane (WEDNESDAY). Cast: Ken Jeong, Jae Suh Park, Emerson Min, Miya Cech, Jamie McShane, West Mulholland, MeeWha Alana Lee, Marshall Allman, Seamus Dever Directed by: Jean Shim Written by: Jean Shim, Martina Nagel, Jeff Yang
