Nice student video from Columbia University (Mar 2006)

Culture Shock – “Identity” – Unraveling “Asia America”

Directed and edited by Calvin Sun, “Identity” -Unraveling “Asian America” seeks to reveal what lies beneath the color of our skins for a new generation of Asian Americans.

This ten minute video by the Columbia University Asian American Alliance features selected interviews from 50+ undergraduate students representing over 20 different cultural and performance organizations at Columbia University. Topics range from the indeterminate nature of the Asian American identity to subtle cultural diversity/segregation challenges among undergraduate campuses and possible solutions to these issues.

Production began November 2005, and post production wrapped up March 2006.
