SHORT FILM ‘NIGHT’ SHOWS THE SUBTLE RACISM OF EVERYDAY LIFE

“In the writing process of NIGHT, I talked to many women from various backgrounds in New York who helped me edit and revise the script. They explained to me that it’s hard for white women to understand their privilege unless they were to experience what it’s like to be a minority in the United States. When something racist occurs, many people feel like minorities are being ‘too sensitive,’ but what would they say if they were the ones being discriminated against? NIGHT plays with that question and gives people a glimpse of what it’s like to be in someone else’s shoes.”
