Disney+ has unveiled the trailer for “Chang Can Dunk” from filmmaker Jingyi Shao, one of Variety’s “10 Directors to Watch” for 2023. The coming-of-age sports film — which begins streaming Mar…
The coming-of-age sports film — which begins streaming March 10 — follows Chang , an unpopular high schooler who loves basketball and Pokémon. Chang finds himself wagering a bet with the school’s all-star player, Matt , that he will be able to make a slam dunk — in 12 weeks time.
“I was really inspired by early ’90s coming-of-age films, but specifically sports-coming-of-age films like ‘Mighty Ducks,’” Shao tellsThe film examines teenage social hierarchies and family dynamics from the perspective of people of color living in communities where they’re a minority population. Shao’s film is debuting in an era where Asian American filmmakers and films emphasizing Asian characters have seen a surge of success. “I consider myself part of that wave,” he says.
Thus, the director hopes that having an Asian American teen at the center of his movie will serve as an inspiration to others, stressing the importance of representation as it relates to truly feeling seen.
