Screenings of two films — one of which was shot on location on the Palouse — by screenwriter-director Ysabeaux Ng, who grew up on the Palouse and recently graduated with an MFA from the American Film Institute Conservatory in Los Angeles.
"A Faded Yellow," 14 mins: Farmer boys and cowboy boots compel a panicked Chinese father to stop his daughter from adopting the West's most egregious trend, quitting tea. "Martha, Martha," 12 min: A police investigation of their father's sexual misconduct puts two sisters head to head from opposing sides of faith on how to face his culpability. *This short comes with a thematic trigger warning—it depicts conversations about sexual assault/abuse. It mirrors the quiet lives of community members I knew growing up in the Palouse.
