I’m an aspiring screenwriter.
The popularities of Asian movies and TV shows are on the rise. We’re discovering that there are so many untouched stories on the Asian landscape that we can explore, and I want to make a career in Asian movies and TV shows, if I can. Unfortunately, it still happens when, for example, one of my Asian-majority scripts got rejected by a movie producer because “Asians are not a wide enough audience.”
