Slanted takes a satirical look at what it’s like to be an Asian American female trying to break into acting. It revolves around the ever tenacious Andrea, an aspiring actress, who must navigate the culturally limited world of Ft. Lauderdale’s acting community in the hopes of catching her big break, so she can finally move to Hollywood and away from her meddling immigrant Chinese parents. Andrea Lwin starred, wrote, and produced “Slanted”.

Update: Andrea tells us that there will be 10 episodes that will be shot. Look for new episodes every 2-3 months. Episode 3 will be out in February 2010. Between episodes there will be short videos like video blogs, character introductions and other content. Look for more Slanted soon.
