I know it’s been a while since I last sent one of my notorious updates, and the last I sent was from queenjennifer@missasianamerica.com–but that email address was removed Jan 2011 as I let most of you know back then.

Not everyone is on Facebook and not all of you I have seen recently, so the least I can do is share my latest adventures in LA aiiiiiight?

So much has gone down guys…all I can say is I’m proud to announce I’m now attached to the coolest project of my career thus far.

Tranzloco, a feature film produced by Muse Productions (American Psycho, The Virgin Suicides, Buffalo ’66, Spun) will begin shooting this summer, and it has been a DREAM COME TRUE to be a part of this production. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2338349/ and http://www.facebook.com/tranzloco/info It is the directorial debut of Will De Los Santos, famed screenwriter and producer of Spun. This movie will be one of the most compelling stories ever to grace the silver screen…just you wait.

I have also been a part of Caribe Road for the past year, the cutting edge action webseries produced by Helu Entertainment and Louise Wu, a fellow former Miss Asian America. http://www.cariberoad.com/ This particular episodic has upped the ante for television-webseries, and has generated so much buzz that The Huffington Post released an article publicizing the show’s military setting. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/hector-luis-bustamante/military-families-week_b_1438385.html

The years have been beautiful, becoming a part of the Screen Actors Guild union, increasing my representation all around (a team of 5 now versus just 1 in the past), and finding peace and balance in my life.

It’s hard for me to always reply back to all you guys on text and email, so just know that I picked each of you on this mass email specifically because I have you in my thoughts. For real mayne!!!!

I tweet a lot these days, so life and career updates are often posted there if you ever need to take a gander at where my headspace is at… twitter.com/JenniferField

I have a request too since you know ambition is my middle name, to happily and lovingly click away at imdb.me/jenniferfield when you can, often…since things are about to POP for your girl!!!!!! It helps producers and execs in Hollywood to see my clout and that I pull weight and am a significant mover and shaker. It’s crucial, especially right now with things about to take a swift turn towards cloud nine.

Bay Area forever…I miss you and home…xoxo.

Your girl and #1 hapa,
Jennifer Field

1. One year, the pageant received the wrong shipment of trophies. Instead of trophies with a beauty queen, they received trophies with a male figure in a swim trunk holding a victory wreath above his head.

Message from Our President & Founder

ROSE CHUNG

When I created the Miss Asian America Pageant in 1985, I had the intention of sharing my personal experience of evolving from a shy and sheltered young girl into an active community leader. As the youngest of five children to a widowed, immigrant mother, the idea of one day becoming a pageant queen and community leader seemed like a far-fetched dream.
