DIRECTOR PROFILE
Leonardo Trejo-Bien
Director Bio :
I'm an Asian/Hispanic American Filmmaker from Palo Alto, CA. My favorite Directors are Nolan, Coen Bros., Bong Joon Ho, Tarantino. I hope to use the art of film to effectively inspire and change the minds of my audience.
Director Statement :
Portions of the film may be graphic, but it is a difficult truth to face. The violence during the COVID-19 pandemic is only a resurgence of deep Anti-Asian sentiment in the history of the U.S. The voices of Asian Americans need to be heard.
