Show Notes

This week, we chat with Kim Tran, a first-gen Vietnamese writer, director and comedian who once rode her bike from Texas to Alaska. Her films have been official selections of SXSW, Palm Springs ShortFest and Short of the Week. Her film Zoe and Hanh recently earned a Vimeo Staff Pick. She received the Michener Fellowship to pursue her MFA in Screenwriting and Playwriting at the University of Texas at Austin. As a writer, she has written for Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls, was a semifinalist for the Humanitas, NBC and Disney writing programs and a finalist for the HBO Pitch Competition at the Women in Comedy Festival. In her work, she explores messy Asian American women trying to find their way in the world. Since we chatted with Kim, some exciting updates have come up! Kim was awarded a development grant from the Austin Film Society to develop Zoe and Hanh into a feature film. The short played at Palm Springs Shortfest and will be playing at Hollyshorts.
