Story
ERIE COUNTY SMILE is a parody of "Paris By Night (PBN)", a popular Vietnamese-language variety show that gained notoriety in the Vietnamese diasporic community in the mid-1990s and is still in production today. In the waiting area of my family’s nail salon, we always had PBN in the VHS player. This film is dedicated to children of immigrants, who grew up behind doors labeled “EMPLOYEES ONLY."
