Ping Pong Playa

(USA, 2007, 96 minutes, English)
Director: Jessica Yu
Distributor: Swank Motion Pictures
Christopher "C-dub" Wang is a young suburban man who sports an urban swagger, waxes political on all things Asian American, and clings to pipe dreams of a career as a pro basketball player. Blaming genetics for his failure to make the NBA, C-dub lives at home, works a dead-end job, and squirms in the shadow of his older brother, Michael, a doctor and ping pong champion. C-dub is kicked back into reality when his mom and Michael are hurt in a car accident, forcing C-dub to take over his mom's ping pong class of misfits. But when the Wang family livelihood is threatened by a rival ping pong player's attempts to lure the kids away, C-dub begins to take things more seriously. With the National Golden Cock Tournament coming up and an injured Michael unable to defend his title, C-dub must become the player he pretends to be and defend his family's ping pong dynasty.
