Check Out the First Still from ‘Slanted’ starring McKenna Grace and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan

The first still from McKenna Grace and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan’s new film, Slanted has been released. The duo is joined in the film by Shirley Chen, Vivian Wu, Amelie Zilber, Fang Du, Elaine Hendrix, and Keith Harris.

In the film, “As a senior in high school, Joan Huang idolizes winning Prom Queen as the embodiment of popularity, beauty and the ultimate form of acceptance into American life. In her relentless pursuit for the crown, she undergoes an experimental racial transformation to become White and win Prom Queen. However, what she thought was a dream come true soon reveals itself to be an emotional and physical nightmare. Slanted offers a searing and unapologetically satirical view on race and the uncomfortable journey of learning to love yourself and your culture.”

The film will hold its premiere at the South by Southwest Film & TV Festival this coming March!
