Directed and edited by Calvin Sun, Identity - Unraveling "Asian America" seeks to reveal what lies beneath the color of our skins for a new generation of Asian Americans.
This ten minute video by the Columbia University Asian American Alliance features selected interviews from 50+ undergraduate students representing over 20 different cultural and performance organizations at Columbia University.

| Asian American Beauty - Female Body Image (Part 1 of 2) - 450 sec
Directed and edited by Calvin Sun. Produced by Aretha Choi, Marilla Li, and Calvin Sun.
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8XWQ62HdCs
***WINNER of the audience favorite "One to Watch Award" in the longest running Asian American film festival in the world; the 30th Annual Asian American International Film Festival!!!***
This is part 1 of 2 in a film discussing the Asian American opinion on female body image, beauty standards, eating disorders, and unspoken pressures to be thin in both American and Asian cultures.
An otherwise taboo subject to talk about among specifically Asian Americans, students at Columbia University are now tired of keeping mum about the issue and are speaking out.
This video does not aim to cover every single ground regarding the topic; instead it seeks to begin dialogue with a generalized approach to the problems as a first step. We want first to show that Asian Americans are like any other American struggling with issues of body image while at the same time facing pressures coming from their own respective cultures.
This video certainly focuses on the former point; We hope that the latter will be explored more in the future.
We also must reveal the contradiction of how Asian American girls are pressured in this society to look both "western" and "Asian."
This includes pressures on how many Asian American girls are supposed to play up this well-known image of looking innocent, weak, and petite as "attractive", but at the same time mainstream media depicts Asian American females as alluring, "exotic," and sexy.
We hope that the people in this video will inspire others around the world to undertake similar projects that would focus deeper into these issues regarding body image and perhaps more specifically Asian American body image.
Therefore, this is only the beginning.

Directed and edited by Calvin Sun. Produced by Aretha Choi, Marilla Li, and Calvin Sun.
***WINNER of the audience favorite "One to Watch Award" in the longest running Asian American film festival in the world; the 30th Annual Asian American International Film Festival!!!***
Director's Note:
We do NOT intend to show that issues like anorexia and bulimia are specifically Asian American problems. We instead wanted people to see that Asian Americans teenagers struggle with eating disorders just like any other American.
It has been a phenomenon that issues such as eating disorders has been an extremely taboo subject among Asian Americans who come from more conservative backgrounds.
We also must reveal the contradiction of how Asian American girls are pressured in this society to look both "western" and "Asian."
This includes pressures on how many Asian American girls are supposed to play up this well-known image of looking innocent, weak, and petite as "attractive", but at the same time mainstream media depicts Asian American females as alluring, "exotic," and sexy.
We want to show that some are finally speaking out on the issue.

"R&L" is an ode to a modern Asian America through a combination of vignettes and collaborative spoken word poetry. It is the collective story of eight women and men struggling to find a sense of self in an era in which "we've killed the heroes in ourselves." From car maintenance to violin lessons, from college impostors to true love, it is a confrontation of the ugly and the beautiful in the 21st century Asian America.
