From The Seattle Times: "Pork Filled Productions, which focuses on providing a platform for Asian American artists, seemingly never met a genre it wasn’t willing to explore, from seafaring swashbuckler to steampunk Western. Psychological vampiric horror couldn’t be more in the company’s wheelhouse."
With Anna Mulia, Jen-Ai Clinton, Sam Prudente, Matt Dela Cruz, Anamaria Guerzon Kendall Uyeji. Directed by Zenaida Rose Smith

Not my production, but watching the outreach to the Khmer community from ACT-Seattle and 5th Avenue for Lauren Yee's CAMBODIAN ROCK BAND fills my heart to bursting...

(now I have to recover from the strained ligaments dancing at curtain call at final preview)
