LOGLINE
A widowed, Indian-American activist chef from Oakland meets her mother-in-law, a redneck Japanese-American drunk from
the deep South. Will their battle to survive unbearable loss cause more pain...or stir up a healing pot of COMFORT FOOD?
COMFORT FOOD explores grief and racial divides through two people within the AAPI diaspora. It acknowledges
tensions rarely seen between Asian American communities and the conflicting views on assimilating to protect vs. owning one's culture in a fight to define "American". This short is a standalone excerpt of a feature in development.
