“Los Angeles, CA - "Almost Asian" is a short-form scripted digital comedy series about a mixed-raced millennial on the verge of a biracial identity crisis. For half-Asian Angeleno, Katie, being mixed-race means never being enough - all she wants is to belong, but for her to feel fully accepted, she must first love and accept the one thing she fears the most: her whole self. Each episode explores the ethnic dichotomies and racial diversities prevalent in youth culture today and polaroids Katie's personal and professional struggles as she awkwardly attempts to maneuver through life as a half-Asian mix. From stereotypes to expectations to identity and acceptance, "Almost Asian" not only wants to create an open forum and dialogue for other millennial "halfers" but also celebrate their success and strife with a wink. The writing is unapologetic and voice, brash, as Katie half-sheds the quiet and submissive Japanese female stereotype and elbows her way to a seat at society's set table. “ From katiemalia.com
