Amy Tiong '18 (BFA, Kanbar Institute, Film & TV) was recently interviewed by Elite Daily and featured on Bustle's YouTube for her short film Bitter Sweet.
The piece explores Amy's identity as an Asian American and her relationship to body image. In discussing how her film originated, Amy had this to say:
"Films are an opportunity to give voice to marginalized stories. 'Bitter Sweet' is about exploring all the areas of myself that I felt uncomfortable with in order to give light to those parts. I hoped that by being vulnerable, I can open conversations and allow others who feel the same insecurities to find power in their stories and in their bodies."
