Release Day Zoom Chat
On the release day, Friday 4 September at 6:00pm (NZST), PASC members, Yoson An who plays Mulan’s potential love-interest, Honghui, and Xana Tang, playing Mulan’s sister, Xiu, will take part in a special Release Day Zoom Chat. Hosted by actress Michelle Ang, this event will be streamed via Facebook Live as the actors talk about their journey to being cast as well as the experience and challenges of shooting a major motion picture for an international studio. During the Zoom chat, online audiences have the opportunity to have their questions answered by Yoson and Xana before the community at large views the film.
Actor’s Panel: Reflections on Mulan and Asian Representation
The following week, on Saturday 12 September at 2:00pm (NZST), Yoson and Xana will be joined by fellow Mulan cast members for a panel discussion about their own experience being in and then viewing the Disney film, before covering the broader topics around the state of Asian representation on screen. This moderated discussion, streamed online, also anticipates covering topics such as career sustainability, the realities of working as an Asian actor in the current climate, and observations about the evolution of the industry and where the future might lead.
If you have anymore questions, please post them in the comments below! We'll get to answering them on the day of the panel :)
