Perfectly cringey, irresistibly insightful— captures the heart through its flawlessly flawed characters.

🎬 Rewatching it on the big screen at Emerson LA with and brought this unique charm back to life.

With a theatrical release during the WGA and SAG-AFTRA industry strikes, this masterpiece by Randall Park didn’t get its due limelight, but it’s a must-see for its raw take on human connections and the Asian American experience. As a Japanese American, the portrayal felt eerily real and profoundly relatable, striking a chord with contemporary issues without being overtly about Japanese America.

The brilliance of lies in its ability to make you despise the main character, yet leave you loving the film for precisely that reason—it’s a commentary on life that’s as relevant as ever. Post-screening, engaging with Ally and Sherry only deepened my appreciation for the craft and the joy that went into creating it. Missed my chance to ask them one burning question, but their insights were invaluable.

If you’ve yet to dive into this film, find it on Netflix; thanks to Randall Park’s () directorial debut and compelling storytelling, it’s a journey worth taking.

Thank you for promoting and for hosting

I couldn't not post about this moment with a legend! It was such an honor to meet George Takei and his husband Brad at last night's event. Getting to tell George about our connection through Tule Lake and thank him for his impactful work spotlighting the Japanese American experience was truly humbling. His projects like 'Year of the Dragon' ensure vital history is not forgotten. Being able to come together as a community for inspiring events like these is so meaningful. I'm grateful to for the invitation to be part of this special night. George and Brad, your warmth and wisdom left me in awe - thank you for everything you do to make the world a little brighter! Had to capture this memory with an icon. #
