In our efforts to stop Asian hate, we are showcasing stories from the diaspora with Asian Appreciation!
AND THEN is a short film about two women who meet and grow closer to each other through insomnia, exploring a new city, and art.
It is a story about missed connections, loneliness, adventure, longing to be accepted, art, finding purpose, and the possibility of reconnecting with those we've lost touch with. The short film follows Mana, a Japanese-American woman who arrives in Tokyo seeking to find a break from her life as an artist, and Haru, a Japanese woman from the countryside who dreams of becoming an artist herself one day. They meet under unique circumstances, and their story unfolds.
