Houston's Grace Rodriguez is pleased to announce the Houston Premiere of Director Stephane Gauger's feature film, "Owl and the Sparrow" on the weekend of Friday, April 3rd, at the AMC Studio 30 on Dunvale, the AMC First Colony and the AMC Gulfpoint theaters.

Director Stephane Gauger will be at the AMC Studio 30 on Dunvale for the Houston premiere of this film for the 6:45PM screening. The Houston Film Commission and Alfred Cervantes will introduce Mr. Gauger and after the movie there will be a Q&A Session.  Reception follows at Kim Son Fountains off the SW Freeway.

"Owl and the Sparrow" tells the stories of a beautiful flight attendant looking for love, a lonely zookeeper hiding within his animal kingdom from a changing society and a little orphan girl selling roses on the streets who relies on the kindness of strangers to survive. 

This is a modern-day Saigon, where eight million people are just trying to keep up with the pace. In four days, the young runaway will play matchmaker to these lonely hearts in hopes of forming a surrogate family. The only problem that might stop her are the authorities that want her in an orphanage and an overbearing uncle tracking her down in the big city.

Cast includes: Ms. Cat Ly as "Lan",  Mr. Le The Lu as "Hai" and Ms. Phan Thi Han as "Thuy"
