The world premiere of the documentary “akaDAN” will be held Saturday, Feb. 1, at 5:30 and 8 p.m. at the Japanese American National Museum, 100 N. Central Ave. in Little Tokyo.
During the summer of 2013, Los Angeles-based musician and Korean adoptee DANakaDAN (Dan Matthews) was reunited with his biological family in Korea, including an identical twin brother he never knew existed.
Join DANakaDAN and his production team as they celebrate the red carpet premiere of the documentary series centering around these events. The documentary will be followed by a Q&A conducted by Phil Yu (Angry Asian Man) with cast and filmmakers (Eugene Choi, Jason Hwang, Jon Maxwell, Sean Yo, Andy Yip, Ray Huang).
From 9 p.m. to 12 a.m., a reception/concert will celebrate the release of “Stuntman,” the companion full-length album by DANakaDAN, featuring performances by Crew Love (DANakaDAN, Priska, Chucky Kim, Sam Kang, Abraham Kim), Paul Dateh, and Travis Graham. The evening will be hosted by Amy Okuda and Ki Hong Lee.
