She Wrote the Book. Now She's Making the Film.

The Book

is a literary fiction novel following three Asian women, Lily, Elizabeth, and Aurora, across continents, decades, and the quiet wreckage left behind by the people who were supposed to love them. It is a story about survival, identity, and the particular cost of being a woman who refuses to disappear. It is also, in places, a true story.

The Project

This campaign funds the first of three proof-of-concept short films adapting for the screen, each centering one protagonist in a defining scene from the novel. Together, they form a trilogy built toward a TV series. Elizabeth Park is first.

The Film

San Francisco. A parking lot. A quiet evening that is about to become someone else's problem.

The Story

Elizabeth Park's story is one rarely told—an Asian woman navigating survival, desire, and dignity entirely on her own terms.

There's a version of this story where Elizabeth is the villain, another where she's the hero. I'm not interested in choosing. Asian diaspora women are complicated. It's time film caught up. I wrote Elizabeth 'cause I couldn't find her anywhere. Turns out I just had to look in the mirror and say Action.
