Director's Statement
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, it was difficult to see on the news that Asian Americans were being targeted and blamed for the outbreak of the pandemic by fellow Americans and to idly stand by doing nothing, so when the opportunity to create a film that could speak to the subject and be done in isolation came about, I jumped at the chance to make our voices heard.
