 for our teen short film

formerly Japanese Immersion School

Ultimate Bias: Jpop vs. Kpop

is about cultural biases we all have.

Especially from outward appearances.

We brake for 4 head-turning students with high energy dance moves, heart wrenching breakups, and falling out of our seat hilarity as they forge friendships, try to beat the rival school’s K-pop dance team, and learn to untangle who they really are inside.

Your support is tax deductible.

How can we model a community of
cultural acceptance for our teens?

Have you ever felt unaccepted?

It takes a village to fund even a community social impact film for teens on navigating “acceptance” challenges. So please support us.

This story offers building blocks and subtle education on acceptance of self without waiting for permission from others.

CHARACTERS
(ideal cast)

  • MISA (17)

    A seemingly perfect Japanese “it” girl with a hint of rebellion, an expert on skincare products, and out to prove to everyone she can build a winning J-pop dance team, get her boyfriend back, and be top of the class – that is unless she gets expelled.

  • CRASH (17)

    American born Japanese who is far, far from bilingual, with her pimple named Daikon and Pikachu Gone Wrong PJs that peek out from under her uniform, she over-guards her boundaries by challenging any sideways look that would even hint that she’s not Japanese enough, until she finds her voice in art class.

  • ideal

    Sooyun (17)

    Korean yet born and raised in Japan, the best dancer the Kpop team had until she left them for the J-pop team beause that’s where she feels at home.

  • JIN (17)

    Yes, she’s black yet born and raised in Japan and can’t wait to get back there. She’s smart, sassy, and has nothing to prove.

  • TOK (17)

    He’s full-on idol material, so why did he quit the J-pop team, and why did he dump Misa?
