The Fortune Cookie Hats
Description: Set in New York City, the movie follows a martial artist named Leroy Green, who has dreams of becoming a great martial artist like his idol Bruce Lee. His master explains that he has reached the final level of martial arts accomplishment known as "The Last Dragon." Martial artists who reach this final level are said to be able to concentrate such mystical energy into their hands that they begin to glow. Only a true martial arts master would be able to exhibit "The Glow" over his entire body. Leroy doesn't fully understand and, in possession of a medal supposedly belonging to Bruce Lee, Leroy embarks upon a spiritual journey to find Master Sum Dum Goy, whom his master claims can help Leroy unlock the power of "The Glow."
Description: The signs were clear. She had other plans. "Local girl who reads the signs wrong" — a self-aware confession rendered in bold brushstroke lettering around a cracked-open fortune cookie. The fortune inside says "reads." The design says everything else. A perfect portrait of someone who looks for meaning in every signal the universe sends and then misinterprets it spectacularly. Whether it's misreading tarot cards, dismissing red flags, finding "signs" in random coincidences, or taking horoscopes way too literally while ignoring the obvious — this one's for her. She knows who she is. Funny, self-deprecating, and deeply relatable for anyone who oscillates between "the universe is sending me messages" and "I have no idea what's happening."
Description: This character was inspired by the old man on the signage next to the front doors of SUM DUM GOY fortune cookie factory in 1985 cult classic, The Last Dragon. The three Chinese words are pronounced in Cantonese: 'cheem yuu bang' and in Mandarin: 'chien yu bing'. The meaning is 'fortune cookie'.
