STOP AAPI HATE

Invisible No More

Stop AAPI Hate is a non-profit organization dedicated to documenting Asian-American and Pacific Islander hate incidents. In researching their data, we uncovered a surprising truth: while attacks have skyrocketed since the pandemic, only a fraction are ever reported. We created a film to empower the community to finally be seen.

We brought these powerful statistics to life in a visually compelling way by camouflaging our AAPI actors into every scene to encourage repeat viewings. We also intentionally filmed in broad daylight and in crowded public spaces reflecting the reality that many of these incidents occur in normal, everyday settings. Additionally, our cast and crew represented a wide spectrum of AAPI backgrounds, including people of East Asian, Central, and Southeastern descent.
