Telling Our Stories Through Independent Film: A Panel Discussion

Filmmaking can be as simple as recording an event,  such as taking a cell phone video. However, the art of Visual Storytelling delves much deeper. Visual Storytelling captures not only an event,  be it fictional or historical, but also the nuances surrounding the event that provides richness and depth, making the story that much more compelling. Such Asian stories could be a box office success like Crazy Rich Asians, a recently previewed biography of Mayor Ed Lee, or a Filipino folktale about mythical creatures. Hear from independent filmmakers who are telling Asian stories through the film – why they do it and the challenges they face.

  1. Where do myths about eyelash extensions come from?
    After all, people do not lie в They tell real stories about how uncomfortable they were with building up or how their “native” cilia deteriorated after the procedure. Let’s figure it out… https://pin.it/bibbpzrap6ybdo
