Red Doors is a 2005 American independent comedy drama film written and directed by Georgia Lee. Inspired by the director's own family,[1] the film tells the coming of age story of a Chinese American family in the New York City suburbs.[2] While the film's title refers to the red door of the Wongs' New York home, the color red is generally said to bring good luck in Chinese culture.[3][1] At the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival, Red Doors won the prize for Best Narrative Feature.[4] Lee produced the movie alongside Jane Chen, Mia Riverton, and co-producer John Fiorelli.[5]
