This story reflects parts of my identity, but also my feelings as a filmmaker. I had struggled to find my distinct voice. At first, I believed documentary stories should only be about other people and their stories. But I realized that my voice will always have an influence. So I leaned into that more. Which resulted in the Asian Part, my internal conflict of being Asian American and finding solace with fellow Asian Americans. Learning about our collective disconnect, harsh upbringings, and internal regrets, but also figuring out what we can be proud of.
