Los Angeles, CA (April 14th, 2010)- Tim Kang stars in award-winning director Greg Pak’s new short film “Mister Green,” which been named the Best Short Film of the 9th Annual London International Festival of Science Fiction and Fantastic Film. The fifteen-minute film, starring Kang from the hit CBS series “The Mentalist,” has been creating great buzz around the film festival circuit and is scheduled to screen at the London Festival from April 30th-May 2nd.

In the film, Kang plays the role of Mason Park, a jaded government undersecretary who becomes involved in a radical plan to change the planet and transform the human race.
