Brown Enough started when four people of Southeast Asian descent asked the question “How can my own people not like me?”
Through experiences as a Malaysian actor, a Filipino artist, an Indonesian filmmaker, and a Vietnamese Canadian actress, the film shares a truthful account of the post-colonial effects present in the region — from Eurocentric beauty standards to the skin whitening products market.
Co-directed with Kent Donguines. Produced for TELUS Originals. // Currently in festival distribution. Private screener available upon request.
