Chheangkea is the 25’ recipient of the Black Family Feature Film Prize for his film “Little Phnom Penh”.

Logline: A Cambodian woman searches for connection and belonging as a daughter, wife, and mother — while a lost first love continues to find her across time and continents, from post-Khmer Rouge Phnom Penh to early 2000s California.

The film is being produced by MBA/MFA alum Karen Madar.
