Asian/American in Harvard Square
Written by Rosanna Yamagiwa Alfaro
Directed by Michelle Aguillon

Asian/American in Harvard Square is a series of vignettes focusing on five people who only have three things in common: they are in Harvard Square, they are Asian-American, and they all face racist microaggressions from white people, whether they are strangers, acquaintances, or old friends. Tensions build in this exploration of Asian-American lives and experiences in Cambridge, MA.

Torched
Written by Rosanna Yamagiwa Alfaro
Directed by Michelle Aguillon

In Torched, a university dean gets dangerously carried away as she eulogizes Kathleen Chang(e), an Asian American performance artist and political activist who died of self-immolation.
