AUSTIN PREMIERE followed by Q&A with filmmaker in attendance
Third Act is a bittersweet father-son story from director Tadashi Nakamura (AAAFF 2021 documentary short film winner Atomic Café: The Noisiest Corner in J-Town), capturing his intimate journey with legendary Asian American artist and activist Robert A. Nakamura after a Parkinson’s diagnosis forces them to confront mortality, legacy, and healing. Through the lens of four generations of Japanese Americans, this tender yet powerful film explores the interwoven threads of family, art, and unprocessed historical trauma—revealing how the act of filmmaking itself becomes an act of love and reconciliation. - Tony Nguyen, Feature Film Programmer
