Sorry We're Dead: Film Screening

“Alex Zajicek's “Sorry, We're Dead” is a film for a new generation of creatives, challenging expectations and delving deep into an absurd and comedically original subconscious. The film embodies a rare and refreshing representation of Asian American artists without tokenizing the protagonist or essentializing her experiences. Its creative and tonal consistency is striking, embodying an unwavering chaos and erraticism that adds nuance to Lana's depressive spiral while teasing out the queer tensions inherent in the struggle to make art beneath repressive and restrictive systems, and the decision to persevere nonetheless." - Seattle Asian American Film Festival 2024, Grand Jury "Best Narrative Feature" award.
