FTH at HOME: Crazy Talented Asians & Friends

Come celebrate APA Heritage Month with our brand new production “Crazy Talented Asians & Friends”. Come watch live on Flushing Town Hall’s at Home. Our curated animation short films will wow you with the animators’ creative digital art and storytelling talents. Roll on the floor laughing as our comedians share their authentic experiences live.

 

Each program is one hour long, with the Animation Shorts starting at 6:00 PM, and the Live Comedy at 8:30 PM, both on May 30th Saturday. To watch this live, simply  tune into Flushing Town Hall Facebook Page on Saturday, May 30 at 6 PM EST & 8:30 PM EST

 

The animation shorts were selected from the top 4% of several hundred submissions. They showcase wide-ranging life experiences in masterful art direction, storytelling, animation, production quality and sound design. These short films movingly tell the story of a mother and son’s struggle to express their love, about two painters battling over space to paint in their own style, about making life choices, on the ever-present stress of urban living, and many other nuanced experiences.

 

The live comedy hour will be hosted by Otter Lee, featuring hilarious New York City-based comedians and comedy groups, including Dylan Adler, Nadia Iqbal, Michael Cruz Kayne, Srilatha Rajamani, Angel Yau and Overstep Comedy comedians Aarushi Agni, Jatin Chhugani, Jonathan Lu, Christian Luu, Andy Shartzer, Helen Shih and Migina Tsai.

 

Michael Kayne performs, writes, directs, and produces at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre. He recently appeared on the Late Night with Seth Meyers TV show. Michael has been seen in What I Did For Love, Baby Wants Candy, Improv Everywhere, Funny Or Die, Above Average, reddit, and College Humor. He has written for Nickelodeon Netflix, the Inner Circle event for Mayor de Blasio, Ben Stiller, Anthony Atamaniuk, Denis O’Hare, and others.
