Live-action anthology series “Tales From The East”
As a first-generation immigrant, Anchitta is a strong advocate for the BIPOC community, especially Asian Americans. Her project is an anthology of superstitions and folktales from Asia titled "Tales From The East." The series consists of a total of five short films that aim to dispel Asian stereotypes in the media. It aims to teach Asian culture about Asian immigrants and Americans and provide a platform for BIPOC artists to work on their craft, network and tell their own stories.
