Here at SoEx, everyone is an artist, from staff to interns. And our intern Evelyn has been putting together a short film that needs our community’s support right now. “Monkey Park” follows an immigrant mother who struggles to satisfy her family on the night of her daughter’s last track team banquet, which unfortunately coincides with the last night of her estranged father’s visit from Taiwan. The film highlights the strong love Asian mothers and daughters have for each other, a love that undergirds all our growing pains. Evelyn and her team need your support to raise above $15,000 so they can make this film and pay their crew fairly. Visit the Seed&Spark link in our bio to learn more about the project and to make a pledge to donate to their crowdfunding campaign. And be sure to follow @monkeyparkfilm on Instagram!
