"The Supporting Actor is a film within a film — we built a set inside another set to tell a story about the quiet struggles of an Asian American actor caught between ambition and identity in the film industry.
Working with Andrew and our amazing NYC cast and crew was such a fun and inspiring experience. Everyone was both a filmmaker and, at times, an actor — and we even found ourselves filming one camera through another. The whole process was playful, meta, and deeply human — exactly what I love about filmmaking. I’m really proud of what we created together！"
