2 Girls | 1 Asian is Fundraising!
We have just launched our campaign with Seed&Spark, a crowd-funding organization supporting independent film artists! We aim to raise $3,500 to pay for production costs of the midseason, as well as begin a fund for pre-production costs of our upcoming season. We at 2 Girls | 1 Asian are devoted to diversity both on screen and off-screen, promoting female friendships, and consuming as much rice as possible... Which are three pretty great reasons to donate. Cheque it out HERE, and have a very hapa holiday!
HAPA HOLIDAYS! 2 GIRLS | 1 ASIAN RELEASES THE MIDSEASON!
HAPA HOLIDAYS : MIDSEASON RELEASE
2 Girls 1 Asian launches its midseason with three new episodes on December 17.
New York, NY - December 7, 2015-
The creators of 2 Girls 1 Asian announced they will release brand new mid season episodes centered around the holidays: "My Bloody Valentine," "Orphan's Christmas," and "Freaky Friday." After a year and half of a creative hiatus, these two Hapas are reeling us back in with not one, not two,
but THREE new episodes on December 17, 2015.
Creators Kelly Colburn and Kaela Garvin released a full seven episode season in the summer of 2014 and are in talks to film a full second season for release in late 2016. These women continue to create a lane for themselves by bringing their real cultural experiences to the world and are not afraid to laugh at the vivacious colorful moments that their friends bring on their journey through this thing we call life. "Kelly and I have been through a lot of changes in the past few years, and these bolder episodes reflect that in a heightened way: our characters are still deeply flawed, but they're coming to terms with how to function in a word that doesn't revolve around them," Garvin says.
2 Girls | 1 Asian also announces its impending fundraising campaign with Seed and Spark, a fantastic crowd-funding organization aimed specifically for supporting artists working in film and television, coming in early December.

Episodes Synopsis
Halloween brings with it the requisite spell-casting, leaving Caela and Kelliye trapped in each others' bodies for a "Freaky Friday."
While stuck in New York over the winter holidays, Caela and Kelliye bring together their band of closest friends for a strife-filled "Orphan's Christmas."
On Valentine's Day, Caela and Kelliye navigate being single, broke, and plagued by women's health-related bowel problems in "My Bloody Valentine."

About 2 Girls | 1 Asian
After meeting in college, creators Kelly Colburn and Kaela Garvin bonded over theater collaborations, romantic lives (or lack thereof), and most importantly, television. Kaela and Kelly were drawn to entertainers who manage to break stereotypes with humor and objectivity; they loved female-driven comedy, but didn’t often see themselves reflected in the entertainment they're offered.
As an answer to that, they created 2 Girls | 1 Asian, which follows Caela and Kelliye, two half-Asian actresses living together in Brooklyn. The first season follows the girls through breakups, career trials, apartment troubles, and even fissions within their friendship, but ultimately it's the story of two girls who value each other more than they value the mistakes the other makes. Their perspective on race in America gives a unique filter through which to view the "single girl in the big city" narrative, so the episodes actively work to subvert Asian American stereotypes they are tired of seeing.

Featured Artist of the Week: dnk. !We are excited to feature one of our new favorite bands, dnk. on this week of 2 Girls | 1 Asian! Kaela and Kelly met David and Kayla when they performed a show at Brad's NYU (the Hapas favorite bar) on Friday night approaching April 20th. The music was great, the band totally humble and outgoing, and really... it was love at first sight for Kaela and Kelly. Love these guys!
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Every once in a while, an artist comes along with the ability to move fans out of their seats while simultaneously creating a visceral experience. Artists of this quality come from undeniable talent and radical authenticity - this is the heartbeat of dnk. dnk. is a Nashville based pop/rap group made up of members Kayla Erb, hailing from the Pacific Northwest, and David Davis, a Chicago-Native. David and Kayla are surrounded by a gang of professional misfits, Devon Curry, Quentin Flowers, and Peter Ferguson. - taken from the ABOUT section of www.dnkofficial.com |

Last Week on 2 Girls | 1 Asian.
Caela and Kelliye got evicted, their cousins found love in a hopeless place, and the girls got so drunk on the stoop that Kelliye blacked out in Caela's lap... What did Kelliye dream of while she blissfully slept in Caela's crotch?... THE 2 GIRLS 1 ASIAN MUSICAL EPISODE OF COURSE! |
"How are we going to pay rent?!" Caela and Kelliye asked themselves last episode...
Find out tonight on the newest episode of 2 Girls | 1 Asian!
With guest appearances by Tony Vo (Winston Wang) and Alton Alburo (Albin de Los Santos) as our cousins.

HAPPY THURSDAY! Episode 2: "What Are You?" launches tonight at 9pm EST. Based on an actual experience the real life Kaela and Kelly had last summer this episode is near and dear to our hearts. Also, in the picture to your left, you can see their lovely faces and Kaela's broken arm. Watch the episode to see her arm NOT broken.

"Charming. Delectable. And culturally relevant!" - Random Asian Person
"I love the balance between minority-driven comedy and class-less-ness... Is that even a word?" - Random White Person
"The way these two young women navigate their way through the New York City theater scene, which is historically not kind to the ethnic or the ethnically ambiguous, is both hilarious and inspiring. Two thumbs up" - Siskel and Ebert
