The People I’ve Slept With Gets a TV Deal

By Jee | Friday, April 2, 2010 | 9 Comments

Indulge me as I use this space to rave and brag and gush and brag and rave and – well, you get the picture – about our very own Koji Steven Sakai. Koji is a writer; you’ve actually read his stuff here at 8Asians.com. He wrote an indie sex-comedy, a well-received, well-loved, well-reviewed movie that has enjoyed sold out status at film festivals called The People I’ve Slept With. If you’re dying to see it, you’ll be happy to know that the movie has been snatched up by a US based TV station, Logo, for mass (cable) enjoyment.

Let’s take a moment and give it up for a man who has done what I only dream about doing: write something that people actually enjoy.
