Filmmaker Wayne Wang returns to theaters this week with "A Thousand Years of Good Prayers," and Edward Douglas over at ComingSoon.net had a chance to sit down and chat with the writer-director about the film.

Here's part of what Wayne had to say about his return to making indies:

I got on this treadmill of studio movies and I had fun, made a lot of good money, but I was having a hard time getting off of it so I sort of consciously just got off and said, "How can I go back to some of my own films, independent films dealing with the Chinese in America again?"

Wang had a lot more to say, which you can read by clicking here. In "A Thousand Years of Good Prayers," a retired widower decides to visit his daughter in the United States. Unfortunately, she is not that pleased at all about her father's sudden arrival. Sounds like a fascinating story.
