The East Bay native who costarred in what many happily consider to be one of the worst films ever — 2003’s talk-back-at-the-screen laugh riot “The Room” — aims to pull his variation of a Tommy Wiseau (“The Room’s” enigmatic and hilarious actor, writer and director) by also directing, writing and starring in a film. We check out multitalented Greg Sestero’s directorial debut along with the marvelous new New York Times’ documentary short “The Best Chef in the World” — about the original chef at Yountville’s French Laundry. There’s also the 3rd i’s 20th annual San Francisco International South Asian Film Festival taking place this weekend.
