Crazy Rich Asians. No matter where you stand on its cultural significance, there are droves of Asian American people—like me—who are beyond excited about the film. Do I feel like I’m seeing myself represented in a fun way for the first time? Yep. Is this a big deal to me? Hell yes it is.

I was invited to be a part of a short film called Crazy Rich Asians Be Like … by Garrett Taira and Jimmy Pope, collectively known as Krewski.

I also interviewed Garrett for Resonate.

So far in our 25 episodes, we’ve covered a range of contentious topics.
