- True to Emily Kim style, I hope this film shines a light on the lack of diversity in Hollywood. Don't let anyone put you in a box.
USC: Accepted
NYU: Accepted - Krátké a kreslené filmy
love the optimism, not many asian parents support their kids into creative world its sad :/ but im gonna do my best too!! Best of Luck!!
Even if they don't, helps to have boldness/nerve to be not be afraid to disappoint/take risks in practice to being the same way in hollywood
Sadly this is the industry we all desire to become a part of. It’s nasty and manipulative. We need more artists like you to break the mold.
Sad but true. Thank you for the support :)
Your personality and moms personality were so great I couldn’t help but smile about her supporting you and all the emotion you had in the film! I’m gonna be applying to the film schools I want to go to in 2022 and this makes me very excited, as well as opens my eyes a lot as a black teenager. Let’s use what we have and break out of the box!
I think you missed an opportunity for the casting director to say, "Neither was Scarlett Johannson" rather than Emma Stone. It's really good, though.
though it's not my usual taste, i really like this. i am applying film universities at the moment.i wish some day i can meet you because you just like sunshine.
This is actually amazing, this might be the most creative film application I've ever seen. I hope to see your name in the silver screen in the future.
Thank you so much!!
i like the idea/theme that she was aiming for, but personally it felt too fast and feels like a CZcams skit... But at least it got accepted...
Like, it's the small things that bother me, it's an ok short film.
I absolutely love this as a Latina person I understand what's it like to be stereotyped into this one box. I'll be applying for NYU ticsh as well this fall, hope to get in :)
Thank you and I'm glad the story resonated with you! Good luck in the Fall!!
Ok, yeah, wow. I’ve never seem a student film more fun that this. Creative. Love it!
I'm a rising senior this year looking for inspiration. I came to this and it put me to tears. Great job! Acceptance much deserved. God Bless you on your endeavors
I love how you shed light on such topics. Lack of diversity is a huge issue in the industry and for you to make a film like this is really admirable. I hope I have the honor of watching your fame and recognition grow and, if things work out for me, work with you in the future. Best Wishes
That would be so awesome if we could work together one day! Good luck to you and thank you!
Wow love the concept and the moral of the story. Great editing and use of different camera angles!💕👌
This is so funny and amazing at the same time!
I love this. I understand this film a lot, having been called a Twinkie in middle school to being told I can't succeed as well as a Caucasian person, being a female and of Vietnamese descent. You are an inspiration and we need more filmmakers like you to change the industry. I'm praying you get into USC and NYU!!! Best wishes. (:
I'm really sorry about the way you were treated. This is a subject matter that's important to me and I hope to be able to contribute to changing how things are, even through this little film. Thank you so much!
Wow, this is so creative and meaningful. Totally loved it!
I loved this so much. As an Asian trying to make films, i absolutely adored your cinematography and acting. Looking forward to seeing you do great things :)
this is honestly so wonderful and refreshing! Cant wait to see your future work!
this is honestly my favorite college film application i've ever watched. This type of content is so relevant, please keep doing what ur doing because ur doing amazing!!
Thank you so much for appreciating this message. ❤️
Amazing short film😍loved it!
This is hilarious wow! I'm excited to see where you'd go!
Loved this film! Just found out I was accepted as a transfer student for this fall... see you in the program!!
Thank you and congratulations!! See you soon!
wow! So far I've watched at least 10 portfolios on youtube but never got amazed. But your work is really good and I think...astonishing! It really reflects a lot what the society is like these days, especially we Asians and other minorities.Hope to see you on the stage of Oscars one day!
Wow, thank you so much for the support!
this is really great! What camera did you use and what editing program did you use? Again, amazing flim!!
Thank you so much! I used a Canon Rebel t3i to film and Adobe Premiere to edit everything, except for the box scenes- those were edited in After Effects.
so amazing and inspirational
how much help did you get filming this? i have a really great story i want to make, but i also want to act in it because it's my story, do you have any tips?
This was really awesome and cute!! :)
Best of luck for sure!!
Thank you so much!!
Emily Kim you’re welcome!! I hope you keep making movies or a sitcom or something. You rock! ⭐️💯😊
I will definitely continue creating! :))
I love this!!! So glad you got accepted, you deserved it! Glad to see someone young taking a stance against stereotyping races in entertainment 💕
Thank you so much!! Btw your videos are HILARIOUS

Thank you Emily! :) You're awesome!!! :)
Girl Power!!
girl.power. :D
I love watching it. I am so happy for you 🥰
Hi, I’m South Korean (currently living in South Korea) and i loved ur short film. I also want to go to USC!!! But it’s so hard to get enough info in my country ....Are there any activities you have done to apply for the USC and what was your grade, GPA(The ultimate question lol)
This gave me so much Hope to me, im a latina and i want to be a succesful actress, thank you so much for this 💖
SOOO INSPIRING!! I love it!!
Great video! May I ask why software you used for this? Especially the first scene with you acting in various movies ? Again, great job!
Thank you so much! I used Adobe Premiere Pro :)
hi! i’m kind of in a pinch right now. so i have to turn in my usc application in two days, and my film is over the 3-5 minute limit. i see that yours is as well. how did you manage that, and did it give you any complications? please help!
Hey Chloe! The actual short I submitted to USC was exactly 5 minutes.This is the director's cut that I only uploaded to CZcams, not USC. I also submitted this version to NYU, which has a 10 minute limit. I would definitely try to shave your film down to 5 minutes and really focus on the key elements of your film. In my USC version of this film, I cut out a bit of the intro, some of the dialogue with my mom on the couch, and also part of the outro monologue. Best of luck to you!!!
Emily Kim thank you. i just uploaded it on here. and the story is exactly 5 min, the extra is just some fancy credits. really appreciate it!
Oh, Lady's, I love your video, so cute, I'm 65years, love your work! I am former high school teacher, good job.
Beautiful movie 🎥
I loved ur video.For the portfolio videoes can I use any musics that I want does copyright matters?
This is so amazing
Emily ... Ms Ireland shared your link... what an awesome job you have done. Wishing you all the best and good luck. Loved this!
Thank you so much!!!
Man i felt this one i really wish to get out of that box to ! And be successful with my life
Amazing! Truly AMAZING EMILY
AW Love you Sami!!
Omg this is amazing!! You are a great actor!! Hope you get into your schools!
Thank you so much!
Honestly didn’t expect much coming into this video, but this was excellent. It was so entertaining and shined light on a real problem. Being Asian, I remember signing a contract with an acting company when I was around 10, but not being able to audition for any roles because I was Asian and you had to be a white male to audition.
I'm sorry to hear about your acting experience. We need more stories about the underrepresented out in the world! Thank you for watching.
So... Watched every second! uhm liked every second! [Take Two: LOVED EVERY SECOND!] ... and now I got one question.... "When's the movie coming out, I mean when is The Box coming out because this is damn great storytelling, haven't even gotten to the editing part because my goodness that was too great! With a mindset like yours, I'm sure you're going places with your career! PLEASE DON'T STOP CREATING!
P.S Thanks Lawrence for sharing this on Twitter... was worth every second of my time!
Oh my goodness; thank you so much!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed- I really put my heart into this :)
This is so amazing 😃😃😃
Beautiful story, harsh reality!
question: isnt the prompt to make it at most 5 minutes?? how were u able to make it longer than 5 mins??
I submitted a different video that was the 5 min version of this. This video is the Director's Cut!
THIS IS AMAZING I AM NOW YOUR #1 FAN NOW EMILY 🤠
wow loved this!
i love love love this
Hey love your film. Where did you decide to go?
Thank you! I'm currently attending the School of Cinematic Arts at USC!
Oh that’s great!!! Congrats! You deserve it. USC is my dream school, but not for film, but for math and engineering.(My films are sooooooooooo bad 😂)We once had to make films for art class...I’ve never gotten a grade so low in my life.
Beautiful movie
THIS IS AMAZING
love it very funny there is some great effortless comedy in the acting works great
soooooooo cool
THIS WAS AMAZING
How did you know how to make a film before going to actual film school?
If you're looking for more diversity and film, you know there's hundreds of film that either include incredible Asian directors or actors. Also not even Asian people, there's amazing directors and actors made up of multiple ethnicities that are easy to find if you look for them.
While movies with actors of color definitely exist, the fact still remains that it is not enough. Of the 100 top films of 2016, 25 films featured no Black/African-American characters, 44 included no Asian or Asian-American characters, and 54 depicted no Hispanic/Latino characters. 2018 has been an improvement with movies such as Crazy Rich Asians but Hollywood still has a long way to go in terms of equal representation. Not to mention, racial and other types of stereotypes can be found in far too many films.

That is AMAZING! Well deserved! I applied as a transfer student in the film program, but I won't find out anything for another month or so. Maybe I'll see you there!
Thank you!! Good luck and I hope to see you!
whatd u use to edit?
Adobe Premiere Pro!
Great script
Is there a time limit?
I submitted a 5 minute version of this film (5 min is the time limit) by shaving down a couple scenes. This one I posted is the director's cut :)
