Fulbeck force-feeds the viewer scores of all-too-familiar Asian female/Caucasian male pairings in Hollywood films, and combines them with contemporary excerpts from best-selling novels, magazines, and dating services. Some Questions For 28 Kisses delves into the causes and purposes of these created images and their relation to interracial dating, ethnic fetishes, race and gender wars, and Hapa identity.
“Leads the viewer on a delightfully rip-roaring jaunt through the Asian Pacific American psyche.”
-- Gerard Lim, Asian Week

Asian Studs Nightmare examines the racial politics behind the hit U.S. television show STUDS. Fulbeck frantically recalls somewhat fictional nightmares of Asian male identity. Over a multi-layered visual of the actual STUDS show and Asian male stereotypes, Asian Studs reveals the pervasive racial hierarchies and taboos depicted in mass media and probes their relation to interracial dating patterns and minority status in the United States.

Hilarious and fast-paced, Sex, Love & Kung Fu entertains as it explores the mysteries of David Carradine, Brandon Lee, and the size of Dolph Lundgren's penis.
