Lucy Liu & Lawrence Shou in Indie Drama ‘Rosemead’ Official Trailer

“Did I do something wrong?” “Everyone knows how much you love him.” Vertical has revealed the official trailer for an indie drama titled Rosemead, marking the feature directorial debut of DP & filmmaker Eric Lin. It first premiered at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year and opens in theaters in December. Inspired by a harrowing true story, Lucy Liu transforms in a riveting, career-redefining performance as an ailing woman who takes drastic measures to protect her troubled teenage son. If you didn’t pick up on it in the trailer, here’s more context: “Lucy Liu delivers a transformative performance as a terminally ill Chinese immigrant who uncovers her son’s disturbing fixation with mass shootings. As her health deteriorates, she takes increasingly desperate — and morally complex — measures to protect him and confront the darkness he’s drawn to.” Very interesting. Along with Liu, the cast includes Lawrence Shou, Orion Lee, Jennifer Lim, Madison Hu, & James Chen. Looks like a very emotional story. Reviews say she “embodies Irene with a quiet contemplativeness and increasing desperation that will leave you speechless as the credits roll.” // Continue Reading ›
