After Moonrise: Film Screening and Community Showcase
Join us for an intimate community evening celebrating South Asian storytelling and connection -- anchored by a special screening of the short film After Moonrise, in partnership with Welcome to Chinatown and myJyoti.

It stars Purva Bedi (American Desi, One of Us is Lying) and Isuri Wijesundara (Little America). Check out the trailer here.

Andrew Tsao: Andrew is an artist and coach who works with ink, abstraction, and people to give form to what is often felt but unseen—the mystical, the ancestral, the inner landscape.
