deftly navigates clever laughs and nuanced conversations about cultural identity and existing in the in-between Shon Ho, City Hub
Misc revolves around Bea and Jasmine, two half Asian, half white actors who keep meeting in different auditions, as they keep being put up for the same roles. They become fast friends, as they share experiences of the struggles and experiences about being from two different cultures in an industry that constantly tries to put them in a single box. This is a story of finding cultural identity, as they are forced to confront what it really means to be Asian and are put at odds with each other when they both try to fit into what they feel they need to fit into.
