EP 622: Writer/Director Christine Chang On “Making Space,” Asian American Representation, and Personal Connection

What does it truly take to stop waiting to be chosen and start choosing yourself?

In Season 12, Episode 622, host Ken Fong is joined by multidisciplinary artist, writer, and director Christine Chang to discuss her new short film, Making Space. Starring Jessika Van and Tim Chiou, Making Space tells the story of a woman navigating emotional limbo within a complex relationship, offering a visually rich and intimate exploration of identity,boundaries, and belonging.

Beyond the creative mechanics of indie filmmaking, Ken and Christine engage in a deeply personal conversation about the intentional work required to deepen and repair human connection. They reflect on the vulnerability it takes to make space for loved ones, bridge distances in family dynamics, and actively choose growth over comfort in our personal relationships.
