Synopsis

Korean-American filmmaker Michael Kang's first indie feature finds a portly adolescent, Ernest (Jeffrey Chyau), sifting through seedy articles and hanging with seedy characters as he toils away as a maid at his immigrant mother''s motel in the middle of nowhere. "Like the best independent films, The Motel realizes that life is made up of minor pleasures and tiny epiphanies, not sweeping character arcs or big dramatic moments" (Onion A.V. Club). Nominated for an Independent Spirit Award. With Sung Kang, Jade Wu, and Michael Kang---USA---2005---76 mins.
