Hit or Miss: Interpretations 2.0 Short Film (YOMYOMF)

An amateur fighter grieves over the loss of her mother while sparring with her new instructor.

We are a TOP 15 SEMI-FINALIST! Here is the official announcement on YOMYOMF and the exclusive on The Hollywood Reporter!

Here's our submission for Justin Lin and YOMYOMF's INTERPRETATIONS 2.0 Contest! 

A film contest for aspiring Asian American filmmakers. We were given only 4 lines of dialogue that we could interpret however we wanted within a 3 minute short film. The lines written by David Henry Hwang are as follows: "Don't do that." "Of course." "I have my doubts." "What is it?"

Huge thanks to Justin Lin and YOMYOMF for giving the Asian-American community a space for our voices to be heard and to NBCUniversal and Comcast for sponsoring the contest. And huge thanks to David Henry Hwang for providing us with the Interpretations script!

Director’s Statement: As a Filipino actress, I’ve been enjoying creating projects for myself since great opportunities are lacking. I struggled with what I wanted to write until I remembered how rarely we see female-led boxing movies. I was very lucky to be able to cast my actual Muay Thai instructor and a fellow student/experienced fighter to play my sparring partner and mother respectively! This film was my attempt at showing that people of color, particularly Asian American women, and especially older women, can be at the forefront of stories we love playing characters we rarely get the chance to play.
