Review of Shirts & Skins

10/10
very good short
16 December 2003
I found this to be excellently done--very touching and thought provoking. I can't help but think that shorts are especially difficult because they have an idea or theme to get across to the viewer in a limited amount of time, with limited budgets. The short is about a pretty woman named Anne Wiseman (played by Sam Tsao) who is Chinese-American and meets a Chinese businessman (Ben Wang) during a "diversity meeting". She is in denial of her heritage, and views herself strictly as an American. During her brief meeting with Michael, the businessman who is also lumped into the "Asian" category, he has a lasting impact on her life and viewpoint of her own ethnic background. Very interesting and worth a watch.
