Slanted

Directed, Written by Amy Wang
[In-Person for Post Film Q&A!]

As a high school senior, Joan Huang is determined to achieve what she believes is the pinnacle of acceptance: being crowned Prom Queen. But as she chases this ideal, Joan makes a drastic choice that sets her on a collision course with identity, belonging, and self-worth. Slanted is a bold exploration of race, assimilation, and the complex path toward embracing who you truly are.
