This story is based off of my personal experiences, as well as some of my peers’ experiences, growing up as a 1st-generation Asian American.  It’s hard enough to navigate childhood as it is but being a minority presents an extra set of challenges.  I wanted to explore the micro-aggressions that are specific to my diaspora.  At the heart of it, this film is about identity – where does one belong in the world?  It’s also about making mistakes and succumbing to the rigors of adolescence.

Our film team is dedicated to inclusion – supporting women and people of color in front of and behind the camera.
