BU Student’s Short Film Tackles Mental Health and Family in the Asian-American Community

Like many artists, much of Christine An’s personal journey is reflected in her work.

Student filmmaker An (CGS’22, COM’24, Pardee’24) fell in love with film after first falling in love with dance. Her new short film, At What Cost, combines both mediums, and draws on her own experience as a dancer.

An, the film’s director, partnered with Boston University’s Newbury Center and the Boston nonprofit Asian Women for Health to produce the film; 20 percent of its proceeds will go to the nonprofit, which works to advance culturally and linguistically appropriate health and wellness education in Asian communities.
