The Achievers

The Achievers is a 2006 ensemble comedy-drama film by Asian-American director Abraham Lim about slacker roommates living in San Francisco. After one unemployed roommate named Shingo (Akie Kotabe) fails to pay the rent and gets an eviction notice, he devises a scheme to make Ecstasy tablets to get the rent money. This plan goes awry when another roommate, Murphy (Dave Lee) thinks the pills are allergy tablets. A third roommate, Ellen (Samantha Quan), struggles to keep her relationship with a Caucasian man and her precarious office job in this challenging period. The other two roommates are Akira (Jennifer Willson), who spends her time on risky behaviour, and an Indian-American technological geek named Trent (Bahldeep Parihar). The film's screenplay was adapted by Lim and Michael Golamco from the stage play by Golamco, which has the same name.[1]
