Episode 154: #StopAsianHate with Lee Shorten

This is the second episode in our new #StopAsianHate series where we explore the intersection between anti-Asian hate and the film and television industry. Actor and filmmaker Lee Shorten (The Man in the High Castle, Parabola) returns to the YVR Screen Scene Podcast to discuss the challenges faced by Asian Canadian actors in the Vancouver film and television industry, how these challenges inform his own filmmaking, and Vancouver’s dynamic Asian Canadian indie film scene. Says Lee: “[Studios] would rather by politically correct than culturally sensitive.”
