Here's a brief but interesting ABC News segment that ran last week on Asian Americans in cinema—and the lack thereof—featuring the comments of feature film producer Karin Chien (
The Motel,
Undoing,
Robot Stories):
Why Aren't There Asian-American Stars? I find it really odd that ABC News would care enough to dedicate a segment to this topic, but hell yes, there it is. If you're going to have 2 minutes and 22 seconds to talk about Asian American cinema on national television, it's not a bad way of summing things up. Props to Karin, for bringing the plight of Asian American cinema to the mainstream, even ever-so-briefly...
