Comments
Tony G. Huang is a director and screenwriter who graduated with a BA in English from the University of California and received an MFA in Directing from Columbia University. His work tends to focus on the lives of Chinese immigrants and 2nd-generation Chinese-Canadian/Americans in North America. His work includes the short films "Molly's Move" and "Predator." He also has some secret upcoming projects! Looking to submit this film to festivals and eventually develop it into a feature.
Storyline
Emily's dream is to become a writer but she lacks support to pursue writing as a profession from her mother. As a result she sneaks out of Chinese school to meet with a local writer, hoping to get her short story published in the magazine that he edits.

Description Tough, aggressive teen, though not in a loud way - warrior of the pen and the tongue, perhaps. Emily aspires to be a novelist, idolizes F. Scott Fitzgerald, capital- Romantic at heart. Baby-face: talking to her is to be ready to be yelled at by an overgrown kid who grew up reading the thesaurus for fun.(Actor should look 15/16ish, English-speaking role but bonus if they know a bit of Mandarin.) | ||
