Dumpling - A Short Film

We are excited that Jia will be playing the lead role in a film! It's an independent, grant-funded, short film which tells the story of the Director's experience immigrating from China at the age of 14 to a white, rural American town. In response to the casting call, Jia sent a note explaining why she thought the project was meaningful along with some selfies - all on a whim as she has no acting experience. Then came the request for video clips, then we met the Director and Cinematographer for dinner, and then she had a screen test with the other candidates for the role. She is honored the Director chose her to tell her story and we look forward to seeing it come to life!
