Plotline

This is about an Asian American comedic actor named Kazu, who in the face of deteriorating health, has decided to follow his true dream of becoming a dramatic actor.

Our Statement

Asian Americans aren't given leading, dramatic roles in American films today, and we're here to change that. This film is a dramatic mockumentary that singles out this issue and tackles it to the floor with several laughs, a few tears, and a decent amount of anger.

The Message Within

This film touches on two very important subjects. The first, being type-cast and the struggle actors face when being reduced to only one type of role.

The other is the lack of Asian Americans in leading American roles. The only times we see this are in Martial Arts films or goofy comedies and that’s just not right. The only way to change this is for us to create such roles and stories for Asian Americans, and that’s exactly what this film is about. As Kazu’s trying to become a dramatic actor, he’s also being a dramatic character throughout the film, so the audience can see him being the character he wants to be, while also understanding his struggle. It’s the perfect film to portray to American audiences because it shows the stereotypes and prejudices against Asian Americans that still continue to happen today.

“Kazu” is a film that will strike home with people of all ethnicities and can be a footstep toward a social change that needs to happen.

What wIll we do with the film??

We will immediately submit the film to the biggest festivals, like:

Sundance Film Festival, Toronto Film Festival, Cannes Film Festival, Tribeca Film Festival, and many others.

We also want to do a film tour throughout various colleges, schools, organizations, etc. in order to spread this important message to as many people as possible.
