About the student film
The romantic comedy “Leave it to Chance” explores love
and life among
today’s Asian Americans. Set in a small California town, this
film
follows two young college students, Kailin and Charlie, after an
unexplainable breakup. Charlie is unable to let go of the past or
Kailin. Their friends seem to help guide the couple apart by providing
plenty of distracting events. The film follows what happens as Kailin
and Charlie realize they’ve left their happiness to chance.
