Did you relate more to Antman than you did to Crazy Rich Asians? Ever feel like Joy Luck Club didn’t represent your Asian-American identity?

Today we bring on up-and-coming filmmaker Grace Kim to discuss the creative pressure to “represent” the community, her journey into film, and the intersectional struggles she faced along the way.

As finalist for the Horizon award at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival and a Viacom Viewfinder Program fellow, Grace is quite an exciting character to follow - keep an eye out for her upcoming projects Heart Tick Kaboom and Fissura!
