Interesting facts

Tie a Yellow Ribbon is a 2007 drama film directed and written by Korean-American filmmaker Joy Dietrich. The film portrays the complex emotions for young adult East Asian American women through its main character, Jenny, a Korean adoptee in America struggling thorough life and difficult relationships. It was filmed and takes place in New York City.

Production

Writer and director Joy Dietrich, herself a Korean adoptee, said, "I wanted to make a film that gave nuanced portraits of young Asian-American women whose stories are seldom told in mainstream media. The dirty little secret is that Asian-American women have one of the highest rates of depression in the United States.

In October 2005, ITVS optioned Dietrich's screenplay. Principal photography took place intermittently from early 2005 to June 2006.
