Dirty Rotten Tofu and the Gohan Girls: Without further ado, Our GoFundMe Pitch Video!
vimeo
Please visit us at: gofund.me/b87431f5 If you want to support a revolutionary and entertaining film that will rock the status quo of mainstream media, this project is for you. Led by female action heroines, the primarily Asian cast takes center stage, not stereotypical side roles. Featuring engaging, anime-inspired characters, this is a unique tale embodying the spirit of the American West. It’s “Kill Bill” goes West meets “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. 🍙⚡️⚔️ Yours truly was the producer/DP/costume/props/makeup/editor of this video and I had the pleasure of working with a fabulous team including: Yuffieh Huynh @yuffieh_ Mike Groth @michael.groth3 Katie Sherwood Ash Garrett @gz.ash Ellie Rowe @elirowe5 Andrea Dreskin @teruteru_tenshi Thank you for giving it your all, I’m proud of what we did! This campaign is a big step for our short film.
About the Amazing Creator of DRTGG:
June Inuzuka is a writer and filmmaker in Denver, Colorado and the founder of Cowgirl Sushi Productions. Her documentary, “Dharma Road” was nominated as “Best Documentary Short” by the Asians on Film festival in 2015 and premiered at the Japanese National Museum. She is the writer, director and executive producer of “Dirty Rotten Tofu and the Gohan Girls.” This script was a semi-finalist in the Diverse Voices Short Script Competition and listed as a Top 10 Best Western Short Script in 2019 by Coverfly's Red List. The film is a sponsored project of the Silverton Film Commission. I (Fuji) have been working on the film’s development for over 8 years now with my amazing mother, June Inuzuka. I am a Producer, Illustrator/Storyboard Artist, Costume Assistant and B.T.S. Producer and Editor. Violence against Asians and other minorities in America has a long and heavy history. In fact, the setting for Dirty Rotten Tofu is during the Yellow Peril, a time when there were anti-Chinese riots and attacks. To this day, Asian women in particular experience an extremely high rate of assault, sexual violence, fetishization and trafficking. This has been the case going back as far as anyone cares to look and is rarely recognized. This film gives us a chance to see us fight back in lead roles. No side character bullshit, not there for just the love interest or be a token. Although it is a historical fantasy these roles were written to empower all of us here and now, to fight and love, no matter how low others make us feel. To find the good moments that makes it all worth it and to unapologetically break stereotypes. Tofu and the Gohan Girls represent the hard truths of so many people’s real experiences. I asked my ancestors to watch over us and help guide me so I could portray these stories in the most respectful way possible and I felt their presence throughout filming this pitch video. This project means a lot to myself and everyone on the Cowgirl Sushi team because by creating and connecting through stories such as these, we become stronger together. For me, they exemplify the brutality, bravery and the strength it takes to survive and find your chosen family.

Ahma & Alan (@ahmaandalan) is playing 11/14 to 11/20 at the Dream Flare Film Festival (@_dreamflareff_ ! Produced by @aikhunentertainment, DFFF aims to share the beauty of cinema, taking Taiwan as a source of inspiration. To watch my film, get tickets here (link also in IG bio): https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dfff-2020-ahma-alan-tickets-127261258851 My film will be playing alongside some great shorts, some of which were an official selection of the Taipei Film Festival. Funny story, earlier this year I tried to submit my short film to Taipei Film Festival but found out I couldn’t because on paper, I’m just American. HAHA! (TFF only accepts short films from Taiwanese nationals). It’s all good, I think it’s really important to bring up and support local filmmakers, which I think is the intention behind the rule, and Taiwan has some amazing filmmakers I look forward to watching. An honor to be part of this festival. Hope you can join us! (note: films can only be watching within the U.S.). Ahma & Alan (a 23 min short film) Starring: Mei-Hou Wu, @gregory.yuan, Akio Chen Executive Producer: @caraichiu Producers: @fabulous_sugar_c, Su-Jean Chiang, Betty Chung Director of Photography: @richardsjsue Gaffer & Emotional Support: Tan Chi Liang Production Designer & Costume Design: @skylerchen Art Director & Wardrobe: @roderick.c.t.

Viewing number two for me for @crazyrichasians. Loved it even more. And was able to appreciate the quality of the film in a different way.

THANK YOU @davidsocomedy " @justinchon @sundanceorg If I passed away right now, I have something to say I could leave behind and be proud of. We didn't just talk & complain about misrepresentation and "bad" films with no Asian American leads, we did something to help us progress and move past all of that. I never talk about the shit that I do like this but this film is good. It's about people not problems. It's about perspective not hate. It's real. Who can tell your story better than you? Our story is not the alternative perspective and we can tell it better than anyone else can. I need you to watch this film, share, write, post, tag and get everyone in those seats cause we need it. Not me. We. An independent film with Asian and black American powerful leads is what this world needs.

“Dirty Rotten Tofu and the Gohan Girls” Photoshoot postponed for obvious reasons but still casting! Here’s a couple conceptual sketches I did of lovely Mochi, who has a very dark backstory but bright future. The first drawing is before her escape from the house of flowers and the second is after her martial arts training. I used some inspiration from Michelle Yeoh/ Crouching Tiger hidden Dragon for the last one Hehe🐉🍡🍙 🖤⚔️ . . . . . . . #oldwest #femalefighters #chinatown #fightforfreedom #femaleactionleads #dirtyrottentofuandtgegohangirls #cowgirlsushi #cowgirlsushiproductions #asianamericanfilm #independentfilm #asianamerican #asianartists #illustration #originalart #drawingoftheday #artistsoninstagram #conceptualillustration #chatacterdesign #comicbook #manga #mochi #coloradofilm #denverfilm #filmmaking #asiantalent #drtgg https://www.instagram.com/p/B90EAOMlHW4/?igshid=13onxrun64dbt

This was definitely the most fun day of shooting! My favorite parts of the day where when Dan used the flag to move the photographers out of the way and @anson28's smoke gun turning into a flame thrower (didn't catch it on camera). Good times 😂 . . . . #behindthescenes #filmindustry #onsetlife #setlife #moviemaking #makingmovies #independentfilm #nycfilm #nycfilmmakers #madeinny #supportindiefilm #featurefilm #asianamericanfilms #snakeheadmovie @snakeheadmovie (at Chinatown, Manhattan)
