Suab, a Hmong shaman from Southeast China, finds spiritual asylum in the graces of Guanyin after being pursued by mysterious spirits. Guanyin is willing to listen and see what has caused such suffering to the shaman's state...but the more she inquires of the shaman's past, the more her unconditional compassion and mercy wavers. Why has Suab fled her country? From what exactly is she trying to escape from? How may a Goddess find empathy in the conflicting values of a modern world?
Directed by Angela Yih

OUT NOW! Our second Special Episode, “The Princess Who Never Smiled”, is up on Realm!
Ever since Princess Atreya was released from the tower where she spent her adolescence, all anyone ever does is tell her to smile. Everyone knows Atreya has no sense of humor––or does she? Baffled by expectations that she should behave coquettishly for the delight of suitors she doesn’t find amusing, Atreya is maligned as a shrew and blamed for the kingdom’s misfortunes. The king offers Atreya’s fair hand to any man who can make her laugh. Which might be a problem for a rebellious princess who doesn't think these lame dudes are funny...
