CAAM’s entry this year is Home is a Hotel, directed by Kevin D. Wong and Todd Sills. The short film, documenting a mother and daughter living in one of San Francisco Chinatown’s single room occupancy hotels, won the Loni Ding Award in Social Issue Documentary at this year’s CAAMFest. The film will be available to watch on PBS.org beginning July 11.
The film with most votes will receive the “PBS People’s Choice” award. For the first time ever, viewers can vote for their favorite film by logging onto their Facebook or Twitter account and sharing their favorite film titles using the #PBSolff.
