Be a doctor, a lawyer, or a banker. Make lots of money. Make your parents proud. Yeah, right. From the chronic slacker, to the sociopathic “self-made man,” and everything in between, step out of the model minority myth and into the experiences and expectations of a generation of Asian Americans who walk the roads less traveled.
This shorts block will be followed by a Q&A with the following filmmakers:
- Cherry-Colored Funk: Chelsie Pennello (Director), Corbett Blair (Composer/EP), and Laura Hetherington (Lead Cast)
- This Is All You Are: Winona Lu (Director) and Mir Lien (Producer)
- Byway: Kyu Park (Director)
It will be moderated by AAIFF programmer Jackson Lee.
