What happens when a writer takes the director’s seat?

You get a short film that wins over an audience. Yellow Fever, Sherry’s directorial debut, snagged the Audience Choice Award at a film festival—and this episode is all about how she made it happen.

We SPEED chat (because high-functioning anxiety, obviously) about imposter syndrome, the reality of being an Asian creative, and what it really takes to put yourself out there—vulnerability and all.

P.S. For legal and moral reasons, we are not promoting drugs. Or actual Yellow Fever. Just killer short films.
