Andi Mack star Lilan Bowden will sit in the director’s chair for Becoming Eddie a comedy short from Ed Lee. The two have partnered to launch a fundraising campaign for the project which puts the lens on growing up as an Asian American kid in the 1980s, a time when first-generation children of immigrants were expected to assimilate.
Written by Lee and based on his own experiences, the film follows a Korean American boy in ’80s New Jersey who makes a wish to be popular with his mostly white classmates, then wakes up with the voice of the world’s most famous foul-mouthed standup comedian. Helen Hong, who is known for her role in The Thundermans and recently starred in the untitled Jessica Gao pilot, will co-produce and star alongside Charles Kim. Joyce Liu-Countryman is set to produce.
