Fresh Off the Boat star Randall Park is set to make his feature directing debut with an adaptation of the graphic novel Shortcomings by famed cartoonist Adrian Tomine, who also penned the screenplay. Roadside Attractions’ Howard Cohen, Eric d’Arbeloff, Jennifer Berman, and Ryan Paine, who brought the project to the company, will produce the comedic drama in collaboration with Park, Michael Golamco, and Hieu Ho’s Imminent Collision.
Shortcomings, considered an iconic work of contemporary Asian American fiction, is about a trio of young Bay Area urbanites––Ben Tanaka, Miko Hayashi, and Alice Kim––as they navigate a range of interpersonal relationships, traversing the country in search of the ideal connection.
