Statement
IN SYNC was created for the 2019 Asian American Film Lab 72 Hour Shootout under the theme, Balancing Act. We were a wonderful assembly of cast and crew brought together by lead actress Josephine Huang. And the title of our film could not have been more synonymous with our chemistry. We hope audiences come away with as much pleasure and enjoyment that we had in making it.
