When Korean American filmmaker Grace Lee was growing up in Missouri, she was the only Grace Lee she knew. Once she left the Midwest however, everyone she met seemed to know "another Grace Lee." But why did they assume that all Grace Lees were reserved, dutiful, piano-playing overachievers? The filmmaker plunges into a funny, highly unscientific investigation into all those Grace Lees who break the mold -- from a fiery social activist to a rebel who tried to burn down her high school. With wit and charm, THE GRACE LEE PROJECT puts a hilarious spin on the eternal question, "What's in a name?"

"Delightful .. a funny but complex meditation on identity, ethnicity and cultural expectations" -- Variety

"Funny and offbeat. Told with humor and insight" - Los Angeles Times

"Packed with skillfully interwoven personal stories, this film will resonate with anyone who's every Googled their own name, hoping to find a fascinating doppelganger," Bust magazine
