Masculanized an Asian character

Became a heartthrob as a POC

Gave an award-winning performance for a neurodivergent character

Is dating a woman after playing a gay man

Gets just as much praise as his white costar

Doesn't censor himself to fit in

Hey friends, and friends of friends I'm hoping this will reach!

As those who follow me know, I am deep into pre-production on my first short film, "Order for Owen," which I wrote and will be directing with the support of Bay Area production company Tricky Ink Productions, under their Training Ground Films initiative.

"Order for Owen" is about Owen, a young, Asian-American, trans man, who is just starting to go out in the world using his newly chosen, gender-affirming name. He debates whether or not to come out to his housemate, Ty, who he secretly has a crush on. Meanwhile, Ty is doing some self-discovery of his own.

Pre-production has been a major learning experience, both for myself and this young production company I'm working with. As a result, we are officially launching our fundraising campaign a bit late in the game.

The good news is, the initiative has fiscal sponsorship through Redwood City-based film organization BraveMaker, which makes contributions to our campaign tax deductible.

If you or someone you know (it's Pride, hit up the allies in your life!) is interested in supporting us:

⭐🌈 DONATIONS CAN BE MADE HERE 🌈⭐

And more information on Training Ground Films can be found here! (This includes info about the initiative, the first short they made, and my short!)

And whether or not you are someone who can contribute to the campaign, spreading the word is so meaningful to me too.

multiple things can be true and exist at the same time

there's a group of crazy stalker people online who deeply hate hudson and are digging through accounts of anyone he ever knew or interacted with for the purpose of finding something """""cancellable""" they can blast online bc they don't like him. i think that's insane and reflects badly on those people. they obviously don't care about any of the actual issues in question and just want an Epic Internet Own

the photo in question is of him in high school as a teenager (hey why are you trying to dig up and blast online photos of someone from when they were underage that they themselves did not post) where someone drew on his face. he's said before he struggled with being asian in a predominantly white community growing up and trying to fit in with his peers. he's an adult now and has spoken about the racism he's faced, as well as regularly speaking up about racism, homophobia, ableism, and other marginalizations he or others face.

that being said we don't know celebrities and they're not our personal friends, and you shouldn't put them on a pedestal.

i don't think you have to """stan""" him or like him or that you can't find him annoying etc etc. but i think it should be acknowledged that since his life has blown up astronomically into the spotlight, there's been a steady campaign of racism and obsessive need to "take him down" and maybe wonder why people are so obsessed with finding a "moral reason" to hate him
