DON’T PITCH IT, DO IT
ASSISTANT LIGHTING DESIGNER, MASTER ELECTRICIAN
Monica Kobayashi, an overachiever juggling her role as a ballet dancer, finance consultant, and more, struggles to secure an artist visa while facing immense societal and familial pressure from her more-than-typical Asian parents. Her quest for validation is further complicated by Lerner Lee, an overworked visa lawyer with his own immigrant insecurities and struggles.
As Monica and Lerner battle through the exhausting visa process, compounded by the cutthroat corporate world and complicated relationships with those close to them, they reach a crucial decision point: Should they compromise their beliefs to stay in this country, or turn in everything they've built and the future that could be?
