Why Crazy Rich Asians Made Me Cry (My story as an Asian filmmaker in Singapore)

WHAT CRA GOT WRONG ABOUT SINGAPORE: https://youtu.be/C1hAzY1JfR8

I cried not once, but THREE times during Crazy Rich Asians. The film is not only powerful in terms of the story, but in what it represents for the Asian-American, Asian-Canadian, and “Hyphenated Asian” community.

Topics I talk about:
– The “Hyphenated Asian” Story
– Asian Representation in Hollywood
– Asian Masculinity

I also talk about:
– My story as an Asian Filmmaker
– Why I cried during Crazy Rich Asians

Crazy Rich Asians is a triumph for diversity in Hollywood, and I hope it paves the way for more films like it. Watching it in Singapore was a surreal moment!
