ASSIMILATE' is the embodiment of what it means for groups or individuals to be disregarded by Mainstream Society at large. What is deemed acceptable by the conservative movement as traditional family values of role purity and portrayed as the only way society should live? 'ASSIMILATE in simple terms places the disadvantaged alongside the advantaged as they are stripped of their identity and replaced with a new, acceptable, westernized image.' The short story makes use of simplicity to a much broader complex discussion and to get the message across. The story has a broader representation of communities being marginalized from LGBTQ+ communities to race and economic suppression. A film worthy of watching for the purpose to bring a healthy conversation around identity.

Director Statement

As a person of mixed race, when looking into my heritage, my past... the deeper I look the dimmer the picture becomes. Assimilate is my showcase of what it must have looked like when someone's identity gets taken away from them.
