ABOUT THE SHOW
Blasians follows the lives of a group of Black and Asian best friends living in the Bay Area. The web series, a dramedy, explores the complicated, hilarious, and sometimes difficult things woke millennials of color go through on their path to self-actualization. The show’s major themes center around friendship, love, potential, and forgiveness.
WHY THIS PROJECT MATTERS
Blasians was created by Amie Darboe, a Black American writer and producer from Rhode Island, and is directed by Pongkarnda ‘Kik’ Udomprasert, a writer and director from Thailand. It’s rare to see projects by women of color get the funding they need, but even rarer to see projects that are a result of partnerships between Black and Asian women creatives.
Although progress is being made, Asian and Black communities lack representation in all aspects of media. Additionally, misconceptions about Black and Asian relationships continue to add strife to our communities. Blasians aims to show that not only do Asian and Black friendships exist, but that they’re fun, raw, and hella beautiful.
