The full cast includes Taylor Takahashi, Taylour Paige, Pamelyn Chee, Mike Moh, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., Alexa Mareka, Perry Yung, and the late Pop Smoke.

The film was successfully completed before Pop’s untimely passing back in February of last year and is expected to officially release on March 5th. Sadly, the “Dior” rapper lost his life last year during a home invasion. 

You might also know Eddie Huang as the mind behind ABC sitcom “Fresh Off The Boat.”
