I’m very excited to share a project I’ve spent the last few months working on with an incredible group of people.
Here is the trailer for my short-film, “I AM NOT A VIRUS” which will be screened at ACMI cinemas on the 4th of May.��“A short-film exploring identity in the face of crisis, discussing pandemic related racism and presenting a heartfelt counter-narrative from three young Asian Australians with strong ties to their community; Elle Shimada Music, a Japanese violinist, Ngoc Tran, business owner of Shop Bao Ngoc, and Cr Anthony Tran, Australia’s youngest Mayor.”
Words can’t express how grateful I am to these three incredible humans and their generosity in sharing their stories and reflections on a deeply personal topic, and I couldn’t have asked for a better crew of people that helped me pull this all together!
Special thank you to William Hamilton-coates, Maximiliano Lara-Oneto, Matthew Nguyen and Diletta Legowo for all of your assistance in this project, and to Human Rights Arts and Film Festival and Diversity Arts Australia for believing in this project.
