Ongoing documentary series. 5 episodes so far. Talking to people about being mixed race, Asian history, how we contextualize ourselves, and more. You can watch the series for free on Gumroad.

So far the episodes are:

Episode 1 - Jennifer Dorothy Lee: Widely regarded academic on Chinese art history, author of “Anxiety Aesthetics: Maoist Legacies in China, 1978-1985”, tenured art history professor at School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Jennifer talks to me about her childhood, how she contextualizes herself as a Chinese person in a field ironically dominated by white people, and her various struggles coming up in academia.

Episode 2 - Aram Han Sifuentes: Aram is a textile and performance artist, as well as an immigrant justice activist. Aram talks to me about her childhood, how she fits into the art world, how her Korean heritage effects her daily life and career, and ghosts.

Episode 3 - The HANA Center Ghostbusters: I go along with Aram and her friends at HANA Center in Chicago to film them performing Jishinbalpki (affectionately referred to as "ghost busting") for local Korean businesses.

Episode 4 - Metal Spikes part 1: I climb Jiri-San in Korea to visit Beopgyesa Temple, where metal spikes I dreamed of in 2021 are displayed.

Episode 5 - Zach Dorn: I visit my good friend Zach Dorn, an awesome animator, filmmaker and puppeteer from Florida, who is currently teaching puppetry at Seoul Institute of the Arts in Korea.
