New movie ‘Shortcomings’ was filmed in a bevy of iconic Berkeley places

Adrian Tomine, who wrote the script for the new Randall Park film, spoke with us about the Berkeley spots that have inspired him.

Out of all the Asian American graphic novels that I read, this one stands out the most for me, because the main character is such an asshole. I know that Ben Tanaka should not be the representative of Asian Americans, but I want every story Asian Americans have to offer, and I want them on the big screen too. Saw the movie, it was awesome. 10/10, would see it again. #shortcomings #adriantomine #funko #funkopop #sanfrancisco #sanfranciscobay #sfba #sfbayarea #esseff #thecity #bayarea

The movie adaptation of Adrian Tomine’s graphic novel swings for the fences. But what gets lost in translation?
