Description

Howie Hiroshima, an angry young Asian man, picks a fight with two docile Skinheads on the Metro. In self defense, the skins reluctantly kick Howie's skinny ass. Howie interprets this beating as a "sign," a bruising confirmation of what he has suspected his entire life -- that he was put on this earth to lead his fellow Asians in a revolution to bring down Whitey. Amazingly, Howie's incandescent anger does indeed attract a small army of young Asian men. Among them is Shelby, a geeky salaryman who discovers his true self in the furnace of Howie's fiery tirades. Unfortunately, Shelby's true self turns out to be a racist, homophobic sociopath.

Howie creates a monster. A militant so extreme, he begins to frighten Howie in his devotion to the Movement. Howie's principles are more flexible. As much as he hates the White Man, he'll make exceptions for White Women. Who will the warriors follow? Howie, their ethically flexible leader? Or Shelby, the reborn accountant who is transforming before their very eyes into a dark star? In the end, Howie gets exactly what he desires in a way he could never expect.

Yellow Fellas is an astoundingly original, whipsmart comedy destined to become a cult classic.
