Become a Producer
Book Talk is a short film based on a new story by #1 New York Times bestselling author R. F. Kuang. A coming-of-age film, it explores ambition, mentorship, and the shifting dynamics between generations of Asian American artists.
We're looking for Associate and Executive Producers who are passionate about supporting the arts, and championing underrepresented voices in film.
Process:
An introduction call with Grace Sun (Director) and/or Elle Xing (Producer) to discuss the story, characters, and our creative approach.
If you'd like to move forward, Elle will follow up with an agreement outlining the producer role and scope.
Make your tax-deductible contribution, processed through Gold House, the Asian Pacific cultural nonprofit serving as our fiscal sponsor.
