"China"

"For Evelyn and Rudolph Jackson, life is about counting the days to retirement and plodding ahead after 40 years of married life. Then Rudolph becomes obsessed with martial arts, transforming their static lives as he throws his aging body into this new, unlikely passion. Based on a short story by National Book Award-winner Charles Johnson, CHINA is a funny, surprising drama of love challenged and renewed."

Jeffrey C. Wray is an associate professor at MSU and directed this film. His wife was a producer. They came into Chautauqua tonight and showed this film. The film is really cute - Dad, you'd like it. Just a simple little story about a middle-aged couple. And it was really cool to be able to sit down with the creators and talk about what we liked, what we didn't, why certain artistic decisions were made, etc. It was a really good night.
