Whenever my son plays “store,” I go in to buy things and then he pays me.

I remember this message but did not remember you mentioning from the get-go about Dr. Bright’s nefarious intentions! Also, I just remembered I need to try to find my autobiography for Dr. Bright for you…

Something About the Tide - Film and Storytelling | Seed&Spark

When a 30-something recovering addict learns that her Japanese mother gave up a previous child for adoption, she must bring home her newfound half-brother to fulfill her mom’s dying wish. But there’s one problem — he’s the perfect child she should have been.

I just supported the short film I AM A GENTLEMAN. You can too: seedandspark.com/fund/i-am-a-...

I first read this script back in 2020 and it blew me away. It “came across my desk” again last year and it continues to be my favorite short script of all time. I can’t wait to see the film.

I Am A Gentleman Short Film - Film and Storytelling | Seed&Spark

Male violence is an epidemic, and in the world of I Am A Gentleman it's an expected part of growing up: from the moment Max hit puberty, he's told he will want to hurt girls. But is it biological like they say, or is it societal conditioning?

I set up facial recognition to unlock my laptop sans make-up. I’m now wearing make-up. My laptop no longer recognizes me.

The film links are featured on the website for SOMETHING ABOUT THE TIDE at www.somethingaboutthetide.com.

And I’d love to find more! If you have any referrals of films currently available to view online, ideally for free, share them in the comments or DM me!

What are you doing for National AANHPI Mental Health Day today? I’m celebrating by sharing this small but mighty list of AANHPI-created short films and web series featuring Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islanders and about mental health.

If you have, or know of, a film or media project that fits the bill and is publicly available online, please send it my way for possible inclusion! I can’t think of any specific restrictions other than the subject matter but I think these can be narrative, doc, short, feature, web series, etc.

Julia Morizawa @juliamorizawa.bsky.social · May 1

One way I’m trying to help spread awareness is by curating a collection of films and new media by and about members of the AANHPI community with a specific focus on mental health. The idea is that links to these films will be shared on socials and websites.

Julia Morizawa @juliamorizawa.bsky.social · May 1

We’re excited to have partnered with the National AAPI Mental Health Association (NAAPIMHA) - @naapimha - for the 5th AANHPI Mental Health Day on Sat. May 10th!
