Writer / Director
“As a filmmaker, I have always believed in the power of storytelling to effect change. But it was my encounter with the struggle of an Asian immigrant - with hopes of living out the American Dream, only to be treated so poorly - that ignited a fire within me.”
PARACHUTES is based on a true story of foreign exchange students facing abuse in the US. Join us to shed light on immigrant struggles, foster empathy, and prompt change.
This film aims to empower these individuals and inspire solidarity from audiences worldwide.
The verdict is in!
People are loving the screenplay for PARACHUTES and want to see/know more.
