Pre-production has begun on this short film based on a feature scripted written by my frequent collaborators, Cindy Fang and Alice Kim.
I am co-producing with Patrick Epino, director of the indie feature Mr. Sadman, along with Alice and Cindy. We received a grant from the California Library Association to make this film, which centers around the friendship between a Chinese American girl and a Japanese American in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. The setting is World War II and the beginning of America’s internment of Japanese citizens.
