As an Asian actress, I have felt that there are limited roles for me.
Often times the roles offered are full of stereotypes. Because as a
society we look towards media to show us our place within it, it meant
a lot to me to create something positive that properly represents me
and the Ethnic Minority Group I am part of. We tried to walk the fine
line of keeping cultural identity without playing into stereotypes.
ITVS/Independent Lens and PBS has been brave enough to give us a chance
to show their viewers an honest perspective.
