This past week has been a dream. I am still in shock that our film - SLANTED won the Grand Jury Prize at this year’s SXSW. This award goes to my brilliant cast and crew who carried me when I was depleted, who made me laugh when things got tense and continue to inspire me everyday.
I’ve wanted to make movies since I was a teenager. I’ve faced so many obstacles, been told “no” and most of all, suffered the most crippling self doubt. I was never the smartest, prettiest, or the person that all the teachers bet on. But I knew one thing. I wanted to tell stories that would create more empathy and understanding in this world.
I can’t wait to keep pushing buttons, expressing myself and challenging the world we live in.
SLANTED IS OUT IN THEATERS, NOW!!!!!
Thank you to my entire cast and crew. Making a movie is a group sport and I’m so grateful to have you all on my team. What a dream come true. @slantedmovie

@shirleylchen , @maitreyiramakrishnan , @ameliezilber , and @mckennagraceful in the same movie?? I'm SEATED.
Here's the trailer for the upcoming film 'SLANTED,' a searing satirical debut that blends sci-fi, body horror, and high school drama into a wild ride you must see to believe.
"As an immigrant, I’ve always been aware that I looked different. As a teenager trying desperately to fit in, I used to wake up and wonder, wouldn't life just be easier if I were white? ‘Slanted' is a satirical exploration of whiteness that challenges that question. It examines the cost of chasing acceptance, and what it means to abandon yourself in the process. Is belonging worth losing who you are for a system that was never built to value you?" says director @amywangster .
'SLANTED' is out in theaters March 13! Are you ready? 🍿
Fantasy Filmfest Fresh Blood Award 2025 goes to SLANTED!
Our audience across all seven cities has spoken and they chose Amy Wang’s wild ride.
What starts out as a sharp coming-of-age satire flips into a dark sci-fi vision of a future where surgical self-optimization is the norm. SLANTED tackles beauty obsession, discrimination, identity struggles and self-denial – and still drops moments of absurd comedy along the way.
Big congrats to Amy Wang and the whole team 🦾
