"We’re in our third season and we’re still getting questions like, “How important is it that a show like ‘Kim's Convenience’ is on the air?” And you think about all these other actors promoting their shows — they’re talking about the show, they’re talking about the characters. Meanwhile, we have to make these sweeping political statements." - Simu Liu
Season 3 of Kim's Convenience premieres January 2019.

“I’ve always said that it really bothers me that so much of Asian representation in cinema has been people running away from their Asian-ness to find love elsewhere,” Cho says. “So, the fact that Searching was [about] a loving Asian family was very impactful.” - #JohnCho

"“The shift is happening because there are more creators of colour who are telling their stories,” Han says. “When you have that, you have someone who is really invested in seeing the story told the way that they imagined it.”"
Jenny Han author of #ToAllTheBoysIveLovedBefore admits she turned down multiple studios for adaption because they wanted Lara Jean to be played by a white actress.

Take a look back at Ann Marie Fleming with her animated film 'Lip Service: A Memory'! Produced in 2001, this film tells a dreamy story of a detective narrating her first job.
"Because the images are so painterly, I took a nod from Japanese animated films where they make the eyes larger for easier audience identificationThe thing is, it works so well that after a very short time you don’t even see the art working anymore. You are just following the story."

"In many ways, Lee is Enter the Dragon, so fans are understandably bristling at the idea of remaking it, let alone remaking it with a non-Asian-American director at the helm, regardless of Leitch’s action chops."
Regardless of the director, should Enter the Dragon be remade at all?

2014 Reel Asian Pitch Competition Winner: The Ghost of Grandpa Tong by Celeste Koon
The Ghost of Grandpa Tong is a simple yet thoroughly touching short film aimed at a children's and youth audience. It is a story full of humour and heart about the gap between cultures and generations, and the overriding connectedness that draws us all together despite our differences. It tells a strong story that will resonate with audiences young and old.
