Description
Meet Alex. Son. Friend. Dreamer. Budding acting career. Disastrous love life. You might see him at your next audition, but he won’t be up for the next stereotype. Gay. Asian. Cast. He is so much more than what society defines him as. He is the next big thing. This is BEFORE I GOT FAMOUS.

Shorts Programs, Transmedia / 81 mins
We stopped, looked, blinked, and couldn’t believe what we saw: a whole new generation of aspiring APA feature filmmakers who have found a creative outlet through episodic storytelling. Is this a short-cut for feature filmmaking? Or have our artists found a new, unexploited means of telling complete stories? This showcase will include a post-screening conversation with many of the creators behind these inventive new works. — Abraham FerrerIn This Program: Almost Asian, Before I Got Famous, CaCa: Tell You Jokes!
