Short and Heartwarming Stories About Different Kinds of Social Issues By Shing Chung
This fall I started watching the 13th season of the TV series Film Lab Presents on Friday nights and the
episodes have been a blast for me quarantining at home. The series showcases a variety of Asian
American stories of contemporary drama, comedy, and everything in between. Lots of Asian American
faces in these contents! The show is produced by the Film Lab, a non-profit that works to promote,
support and create racial and gender parity in entertainment media.
Vacancy by Team Chili Crisp is about a metaphorical journey that a girl is being thrown into. We see her
awaking in the middle of a flower field, representing the birth of an innocent girl. We hear chatters around
her about how people want to be known and famous and soon, she finds the source of those chatters
which came from inside a door. But she had no way to enter the door, symbolizing the door that every
person wants to get in, because if they get access, people become famous. Soon, she finds out that the
famous self she became to know was not genuine. The entire film is a tribute to originality and finding
your own beauty and worth. There is a serendipitous scene close to the end that should remind people to
always remember where they come from. And for her, it was that figurative flower field and the lack of
obsession with celebrities and fame.
Toylet Story by Cloud 6 Production is a cute and comical version of Toy Story, and instead of toys coming
alive, it is the bathroom essentials. We are talking lotion, shampoo, conditioner, and others. But a new
supply of toilet papers have been crowding the space and these bathroom supplies have to decide who is
essential. The film features some great comedic actors and funny dialogues making light of a tight
situation brought by the Pandemic. It is a heartwarming and simple story about the importance of caring
for others when they are needing it the most.
