Special Notes: AmerAsian3 is the third and most exciting installment of the AmerAsian trilogy. The first 2 films are in latter stages of post production.
Synopsis: American-born Asian graduate student, Eric Young, is lured back to college baseball field one final time to play for the Division 2 Volcanos, passing himself off to be 10 years younger to try out for the team. Once Eric makes the cut, he mentors his AmerAsian roommate, fellow backup catcher, Frates, who returns the favor by displaying up close and personal, the real life mental consequences of steroid use. Eric, often injured, develops a relationship with his neighbor, Jackie, the team’s All-American physical therapist. When ex-boyfriend Smaller joins the baseball coaching staff, attempting to win Jackie back, Eric finds himself the victim of jealousy & retaliation.
Questioning his purpose in life, Eric searches deep within and discovers just how closely the philosophies of baseball and life correlate. He ultimately learns that the true enemy is really himself and that he and Frates are really one. As the Volcanos struggle desperately to avoid infamy of recording the only winless season in college baseball history, Eric must choose between risking his identity for the fate of his team, or abandoning his lifelong dream once and for all.
