Shirley Chen: I think it blends a lot of really cool genres.
It speaks to this satire movement, about talking about race in a smart and funny and clever way.
So, I’m super stoked.
Amelie Wilber: I mean, the climate lends itself to this movie being really important.
This movie is important all the time, but this movie is really important right now.
And that kind of started the concept.
What does it mean to be Asian Australian, which is who I am?
And so I think, yeah, that’s why now is the perfect time.
It’s only increased in its relevance and its importance.
So it’s more like, yeah, now, time’s been ticking.
We’re kind of overdue in that way…
But you’re totally right.
And I’m so excited for that.
So I’m excited.
I’m excited for people to have some debates and arguments because it’s going to go down.

Michelle J. Li: I’m not gonna spoil anything, but this project is daring.
It has a lot of political influence.
And I’m really, really excited to see what the reaction is going to be like.
I think that you’re free to never go far enough in your performance.
I think that you just have to go for it.
I’m always trying not to give away too much whenever I give an interview…
It’s also about the balance of delicately handling a subject, even though it’s a satire.
Shirley Chen: I think for me and a lot of the cast as well.
And I think that’s why I hope it works and people resonate with it.
And because it was so uncomfortable, it caused me to reflect a lot.
But yeah, any movie that is uncomfortable is a great step for reflection and for creating conversations.
And so I hope I’ve achieved that.
And then sometimes she’s like, okay, let’s pull it back.
Because it’s so easy in the moment to be like, I don’t know.
Amy was integral in that she did so much for us in that way.
But I think we met in the middle.
Nicholas Myers: It’s all moderation.
It’s all how people take it.
And I think that people will be able to see that for sure.
