Finding Pá Finding Pá

Finding Pá

Inspired by true events, Finding Pá is about a son sitting across from the man who hurt him most, his father, and realizing forgiveness isn’t simple, but sometimes, it’s the only way forward.

Miguel has lived most of his life with an empty space where his father should have been. When that father suddenly calls after decades apart, Miguel is torn between the anger he’s carried since childhood and the small hope for closure. Finding Pá unfolds in the quiet moments between them, the memories of what was lost, fragile laughter, and the weight of forgiveness. It’s a story about fathers and sons, about Puerto Rican roots, and about the complicated love that lingers even after years of absence.

The Hollow: Strings of Heritage

Cheryl is a talented flautist and a dedicated dental PhD student. She moves between two worlds—her vibrant, independent
life in modern Australia and the quiet, tradition-bound expectations of her Chinese immigrant family.
On stage, she shines with confidence; at work, she is calm and precise; yet at home, conversations are brief, emotions are
restrained, and achievements are spoken of more than feelings.
In English, she connects easily with friends; in Mandarin, she faces the silent weight of expectation. Through music—a universal language that bridges cultures, heals distance, and allows her to reclaim her voice.

I Wish I Were Pretty

‘I Wish I Were Pretty’ explores how Korean beauty standards affect our protagonist’s ability to love herself.
Areum (“beautiful” in Korean) is monolidded and, therefore, “average”. Which is fine - she’s always managed to deal with being compared to her gorgeous best friend, Jane (as in plain Jane).
But when a man humiliates Areum in front of Jane, Areum has to finally face this long-festering wound or let it control her forever.
