I AM SOMEBODY at the American Film Market
“This is a story that needs to be told” says director Aki Aleong. Aki Aleong’s new movie I AM SOMEBODY, is a powerful statement about the lives of Chinese immigrants in the 1800’s. Aki’s vision for the film is a social commentary of racial conciseness in America’s past, and how in the future love & forgiveness can bring us together. This is an independent film so the cast was drawn to it not for large salaries, but the fact that this was a project with a message of truth to educate America, and that Aki had an overwhelming passion for the telling of this story. The actual casting is a very significant part of the message of the film. The casting is very ethnically diverse using a rich variety of Asian, Hispanic, African, and Caucasian actors, but on a deeper level the use actors like Tommy Chong (part Asian) playing the part of a white man sends another subliminal message to the audience.
