Sobre este episodio
Sometimes the stars align and we interview someone we were meant to be friends with! Erica Eng was born and raised in Oakland, California, and sat down with us to talk about her short film, Americanized, a story about growing up in Oakland's hip-hop culture, playing basketball, and struggling with her Chinese-American identity. She shares what it was like to direct her real life aunt as one of the cutest characters in the film, and why it was so important to share her story. We also dive into the LA film scene versus the Oakland film scene, and our shared experiences growing up as Asian-Americans. And to cap it off, we discuss our collective love of Erykah Badu, and why her Lunar New Year Panda Express commercial made us cry.
