Love at Los Angeles Pacific Asian Film Festival's closing night.
The closing ceremony went out with a huge party after the showing of the dramedy Key of Life with fans, festival winners and the cast and crews of the films ending the event in a wonderful celebration in Madang Courtyard. The night ended after an earlier award ceremony where the festival winners we're announced. Everyone was in high spirits and had spirits to drink in a finale that finished off the fest that makes Koreatown a wonderful venue for the festival.
