An update for Prince and Ekaj: the film is now at $1,922 of its $30,000 goal, with 25 days left for fundraising. Here’s the link to donate if you’re interested but didn’t get a chance to do it yet: Prince & Ekaj.
The project I’m recommending today has only 7 days left for fundraising. It’s a play called Yellow Brick Wall: Angry White Men Played by Two Happy Asian Girls. Here is the description from the Kickstarter page:
“Rice Flower, a WWII novel is green-lit to be the next blockbuster but these anti-exotic-blossoms face exploitation, objectification, and sexism. Two gregarious gals navigate a not-so-silk road playing 24 characters including Newt Gingrich, Jim Kramer and Al Pacino. This ain’t no Oriental Express, because we ain’t no carpet!
Be part of making this crazy comedy a reality!”
Why I’m recommending this project: This looks like a show that will give Asian women an opportunity to mock and lampoon the stereotypes often used against them, AND it looks incredibly off-the-wall and silly. “Lampooning stereotypes” and “silliness” are two of my favorite things ever.
If this project looks intriguing to you, act now to donate: there are only 7 days left for this Kickstarter campaign. They’ve raised $1,974 of $3,333 so far – close, but they still need more.
