About the event
You’re Invited to The Truer History of the Chan Family!
When I set out to find out more about my family’s involvement in San Francisco's Hip Yee Society, a once notorious gambling and prostitution tong, my discoveries inspired me to tell the story of a family chasing the American Dream in 1920s Chinatown – The Truer History of the Chan Family, our first feature film!
Why vaudeville, you may ask?
Because my great uncle, Thomas Chan, was a vaudevillian who performed on San Francisco’s Strand Theatre stage in the 1920s!
And Hanford historian Camille Wing is my great uncle’s daughter! He raised Camille in Hanford!
