Wrote “As Far As I Can Go,” a short that explores Asian identity in pursuit of the American Dream. It explores the feeling of “Why not me? Why them?” as the main character pursues her dream of being a popstar in a night gone horribly bloody. The film is a fever dream inspired by, conversely, Nightcrawler—the alienation, the loneliness, the extremity—and Spring Breakers—the technicolors, the dreamlike atmosphere, the hollow glitz of the American dream.
“As Far As I Can Go” was accepted into Lift Off New York’s screenplay competition for 2022. I’m currently looking for producers and collaborators to bring it to screen.

Full Movie Here
"Full Movie Here" is a web series that takes titles of famous male-driven films and creates new storylines based off of the title alone with female protagonists instead. Written by Andrea Christensen, and directed by Andrea and Toni-Marie Gallardo. Praise for the series can be read about at Refinery29, A.V. Club, Glamour, and more.
