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)

I'm so tired of teenagers being "the chosen ones" in fiction. please, let a middle-aged woman save the universe! she's seen some shit and dealt with it. she's tired of it all. she doesn't give a fuck. she's angry. she will get this shit done.
@breiter @FeralRobots @finley @mekkaokereke Oh, come on now. If we’re going to go down this road, let’s be honest. There are other factors to consider like being a member of the good ol’ boy club, legacy, ability to fit into the “culture” (whiteness), and likability (as in not being not gay, not being a Person of Color, and not being a woman or trans).
