THE PEOPLE I'VE SLEPT WITH Dir. Quentin Lee, 2009, USA, 89 min.

Angela (Karin Anna Cheung) is unapologetic about her love for sex and her many lovers. When she discovers she's pregnant, she encounters one small problem- she's not quite sure who the father is. In her quest to find the mystery dad, everybody has advice: her gay best friend (Wilson Cruz), her conservative sister (Lynn Chen), and a handsome conquest (Archie Kao). Quentin Lee (SHOPPING FOR FANGS, DRIFT) directs this romantic and sexually precocious romp that takes a comic and delightfully askew look at family, relationships, and finding happiness.

This Gala doesn't end when lights go up - Fusion kicks in to high gear when you enter the courtyard of the historic Egyptian Theatre. Grab a SKYY cocktail, light hors d'oeuvers, and your favorite dance partner. There is nothing like the Fusion after-party!
