A Genre-Bending Exploration of Identity
Based on Charles Yu’s award-winning novel of the same name, “Interior Chinatown” takes viewers on a thought-provoking journey with Willis Wu (played by to-be-announced). Willis, an Asian-American actor perpetually relegated to background roles in a black-and-white police procedural called “Black & White,” yearns for a more substantial existence. His life unfolds between the monotony of his day job as a waiter and the unfulfilled promise of his on-screen persona. A chance encounter with a crime, however, catapults Willis into the heart of a complex conspiracy. As he unravels the web of secrets, he uncovers his family’s buried history and grapples with the unfamiliar yet tantalizing reality of being thrust into the spotlight.
