Ep 53 Dave Lu - Entrepreneur, Advocate, and Executive Producer of 38 At the Garden

Dave Lu is many things. He's a son, husband, and dad. He’s an entrepreneur/investor.  He’s an advocate for social justice and change. He’s also a Hollywood producer, having helped secure funding for the new HBO Max Documentary, 38 At the Garden.  This short documentary, streaming on HBO Max, follows the cultural impact of NBA trailblazer Jeremy Lin during his 2011-12 season with the New York Knicks and the cultural phenomenon known as "Linsanity". Dave was kind enough to share his personal connection with that moment and some of what it took to get the film made. 

You can watch the 38-minute film on HBO and HBO Max, and follow @hbomax and @38atthegarden
