PROJECT SUMMARY
PROJECT MISSION
Hollywood rom coms are overdue for a new voice, a fresh lens, and a real and rollicking dive into the love lives of women. Soma and her team are here to serve it all up, Indonesian-style.
Full Service is a winner of the Julia S. Gouw Shorts Challenge, presented by CAPE and Janet Yang Productions.
“Toni Wang is a Shanghai-born producer and artist whose work lies in the intersection of media and technology. She was a consultant at Accenture, a co-founder of web startup, and a content manager at Columbia Records Online, where she was responsible for half of the label’s artist roster, including Destiny’s Child, Leonard Cohen, Train, and Jessica Simpson.
A creative at heart, she was the lead vocalist and songwriter of NYC-based electronic pop group, san, and performed at various venues across the city. Toni is also the creator and producer of the award-winning Chinese children’s album, A Little Mandarin, loved by families and educators around the world.
A champion of the arts in the community, she has organized student events as a part of New York Philharmonic’s Lunar New Year celebration spearheaded by fellow alumnus and mentor, Shirley Young, co-founder of The Committee of 100 and its cultural arm, US-China Cultural Institute. She is the co-board chair of Shen Wei Dance Arts and a sponsor of Apex for Youth, and holds a Bachelor of Arts in mathematics and economics from Wellesley College, with cross-registration at M.I.T.
Toni is dedicated to bridging cultural gaps through arts and media and elevating stories from the AANHPI diaspora to the mainstream global audience. Her current projects include a young adult hip hop dance and music-inspired coming-of-age drama with Janet Yang Productions and Scooter Braun Projects, an epic space saga exploring the future of humanity vs. AI, and a neo-western anchored on the historical Chinese settlement in America. She is a patron of Gold House’s #GoldOpen movement, having supported films such as Crazy Rich Asians, Searching, and Burning.”
“Po Wei Su is a Taiwanese filmmaker specializing in directing, producing and photography. He graduated with a MFA in Film Production from Loyola Marymount University and is currently freelancing as a producer and photographer in Los Angeles.
His works include commercials, music videos, and short films, which has screened at Tribeca, LA Shorts, Asian American Film Festivals and more. His film mostly explores relationship and identity. Most of the characters in his film are versions of his former selves. He enjoys collecting stories from place to place, but puts them in the environment where he is currently based.”
