Carlos Chan Ka Lok starred in the Emperor Motion Picture WE ARE FAMIILY (CHOOK JO GA YUN) took part in the 18th season Asian Pop Up Cinema film festival in Chicago. The film was screened on the closing night, at the same time Chan Ka Lok received the Bright Star Award. He and director Benny Lau Wai Hang flew to Chicago to attend and had close distance interaction with viewers there. However his pregnant wife Shiga Lin did not tag along. Ka Lok admitted that this trip was very memorable. "I was rather sentimental when accepting the award on the stage!"
While attending the film festival, Ka Lok and Director Lau appeared at a post screening share. Ka Lok was surprised by the quality of the questions viewers asked, as they looked at things rather in depth. However always the perfectionist, he stated that he had a little regret. "I have yet to use English to directly interact. I had to go through a translator. Ultimately I couldn't express my experience 100% to the audience. I hope the next time I could use English so they would be able to understand my thinking even more."
Coming to Chicago, aside from attending the film festival and accepting the award, Ka Lok and Director Lau also went to the Bulls home court for photos. Ka Lok said that when he was little he really loved watching Michael Jordan playing basketball. Now he was able to take time before work with the director to visit the local team Chicago Bulls' home court, he considered a wish of many years to be fulfilled.
