This Is Just Awesome: 2 Girls 1 Asian Season 1 Episode 4: "Super Musical Dream Episode"

If you needed some awesome Friday music love complete with dream sequences, alternate realities, horses, diamonds (because aren't they a girl's best friend?), mean girls, and Kansas (well kind of...) this episode is for you.

Web Series To Watch: 2 Girls | 1 Asian + Season 1 Trailer

I got an email from the creators (Kelly Colburn + Kaela Mei-Shing Garvin) of a new Web Series called 2 Girls | 1 Asian and wanted to make sure and post up the Season 1 Trailer as well as some info on the show.

We love female-driven comedy, but don't often see ourselves reflected in the entertainment we're offered. As an answer to that, 2 Girls | 1 Asian follows Caela and Kelliye, two half-Asian actresses living together in Brooklyn. Our first season follows the girls through breakups, career trials, apartment troubles, and even fissions within their friendship, but ultimately it's the story of two girls who value each other more than they value the mistakes the other makes. Our perspective on race in America gives us a unique filter through which to view the "single girl in the big city" narrative, so our episodes actively work to subvert Asian American stereotypes we're tired of seeing. Plus, there’s a musical episode! We’re looking forward to sharing our independent production online June 5, 2014.

I watched the Season 1 Trailer and can't wait for this to premiere next month.

Funny, DIY'ing it, and a musical episode?

LUMINA Gets A Webby

Got this sent in my way (thanks Jen) and wanted to post it on up because film and its ilk don't end after production.

Hong Kong, SAR, China (Monday, April 19, 2010). LUMINA the Web Series has been selected as an Official Honoree for the Best Editing category in The 14th Annual Webby Awards. As a result of the exceptional quality of submissions this year, the Academy has chosen to recognize work exhibiting remarkable achievement that was not selected as a Nominee. Out of the nearly 10,000 entries from over 60 countries submitted to the 14th Annual Webby Awards, less than 15% are awarded the status of Official Honoree.

Only four, including LUMINA and the Sony web series Angel of Death, were selected as Official Honorees for Best Editing. The Webby Awards Official Honoree distinction marks the groundbreaking Hong Kong web series’ eleventh award distinction since its online release last fall. Previous honors include one Streamy Awards nomination for Best Cinematography, six Indie Soap Awards nominations, including for Best Writing and Best Directing, and three American Soap World Awards nominations. “I am so proud of my team, especially of our editor Bettina Enigl for her hard work and dedication to her craft,” says LUMINA writer and director Jennifer Thym. “This is a great honor and I hope our success encourages other filmmakers to explore the web series medium.”

Here's to Season 2.

A Quick Letter To LUMINA The Web Series

Dear LUMINA The Web Series:

So I'm seriously getting into the show and I'm dying to know what the hell happened to the Little Rabbit - but I do have one simple question.

Isn't it Tuesday yet?

Suzy Nakamura And Back On Topps

You probably recognize Suzy Nakamura from her television work or from movies like American Zombie (pictured above) and Strawberry Fields (as well as a fair amount of others), and here she is in the FOX Sports Web series Back On Topps as Brenda the soccer player who gives the Topps boys some lessons in sexual harassment.
