“Why Am I Doing This?” (www.whyamidoingthis.net) is a multi-award-winning indie feature film about an African-American comedian and Asian-American actor failing in Hollywood.  The film won Best Picture honors at the Houston Comedy Film Festival, the Philadelphia Asian-American Film Festival and the Chinese-American Film Festival, as well as garnering Cinequest Film Festival’s Director’s New Vision Award.  The film had a successful Los Angeles theatrical run and was released on DVD and Video On-Demand.  The Boston Herald called it “a raucous look at life in Los Angeles for an actor...", while The Los Angeles Times wrote, "...the microbudget aesthetic charms.  Be it Tony's Ferris wheel date with romantic prospect Katie, the growing intimacy between Lester and longtime chum Nira, or a peaceful accord between Lester and his divorced, boy-crazy and hopelessly self-centered mother — played to the vivacious hilt by Valerie Pettiford — it's the more subdued moments that, for Huang at least, answer the titular question."

“freshmen” (www.freshmenthefilm.com) is an independent feature film that follows the lives of four college freshmen in their first quarter of school.  It was a film festival hit, winning the Audience Award for Best Feature at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival, the Final Draft Original Screenplay Award at the Rhode Island International Film Fest, as well as earning a nomination for best independent feature at the aMedia Awards.  “freshmen” opened in Los Angeles, and The Los Angeles Times wrote, ““freshmen” is so authentic, it’s like eavesdropping on life… what is surprising is the impressive depth and detail of Huang’s characterizations, his keen ear for dialogue and his ability to get his actors to seem to be living their roles.”  Daily Variety touted the film as “a solid calling card for debuting director Tom Huang and his fresh-faced, very likable young cast.”
