DO I KNOW YOU FROM SOMEWHERE? WINS THE VITAL STORIES PROGRAM GRANT

Film to be produced with Tribeca Studios and Sponsored by Lilly

New York, NY, April 6, 2026 – Tribeca Studios today announced the three short films selected to be produced as part of the inaugural Vital Stories filmmaker program, an initiative with Eli Lilly and Company to empower emerging filmmakers to more accurately and authentically represent disease in content. Do I Know You From Somewhere? (Angela Wong Carbone, Alan Scott Neal) was selected by an expert jury comprised of Yvette Nicole Brown (Actor, Writer, Producer), Amanda Farrand (Executive Vice President of Brands and Business Development at Imagine Entertainment), Stacey Walker King (Chief Brand Officer at MACRO), and Lina Polimeni (Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Consumer at Eli Lilly and Company).

The selected winners were chosen following a Creative Summit hosted by Tribeca Studios in Fall 2025 in New York City. The three winning projects will receive end-to-end production support, including development funding, mentorship from Tribeca Studios and industry leaders, and a guaranteed world premiere at the 2026 Tribeca Festival. The projects will be supported through advanced development as longer-form features and/or series. 

“This dynamic work with Lilly has enabled us to move beyond conversation and into real creative action,” said Bryce Norbitz, Vice President of Tribeca Studios & Artist Development. “The projects that emerged from this year’s program reaffirm what Vital Stories is all about — championing bold, nuanced, and genuinely entertaining work that reflects lived experiences too often missing from our screens.”

Vital Stories was launched in 2025 in response to a study sponsored by Lilly, in partnership with Dr. Stacy L. Smith and the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative. The Vital Stories filmmaker program provides creative development and mentorship to a select group of emerging screenwriters and directors dedicated to authentic portrayals of disease.

A huge announcement has been made for Halloween: The Game this afternoon, with the developers revealing that legacy movie characters will be playable in the video game.

From John Carpenter’s original classic, Laurie Strode, Lynda van der Klok, Annie Brackett & Bob Simms will be playable characters in Halloween: The Game! The characters will appear in the single-player mode and also be featured as playable characters in the multiplayer mode.

The Standard Edition of Halloween: The Game will feature 10 playable Civilians at launch: Jennifer, Tanya, Rachel, Eric, Marcus, Thomas, Bob, Lynda, Annie, and Laurie.

Helping to bring the performances of Bob, Lynda, Annie, and Laurie to life in Halloween: The Game is a roster of outstanding vocal talent. The brawny boyfriend Bob Simms will be voiced by Nicholas Leung. The ever-confident Lynda van der Klok will be voiced by Angela Carbone. The rebellious and funny Annie Brackett will be voiced by Kaitlyn Robrock. And the quintessential ‘final’ girl, Laurie Strode, will be voiced by Chelsea Krause.

The team previews, “Presenting fresh reinterpretations of established and beloved characters is a rare honor our team carefully respected. In close collaboration with Malek Akkad and Compass International Pictures, we developed reimagined designs of these iconic characters, inspired by the original film, for our asymmetrical horror sandbox.”

‘The Last Day’ Review: Alicia Vikander Is Another Modern-Day Mrs. Dalloway in Rachel Rose’s Skilled, Subtle Mood Piece

Variety Review

Director Rachel Rose is a visual artist known for her sensorially-led video installations examining the human condition and its relationship to the natural world. Though it takes a more conventional narrative form, “The Last Day” is consistent with that work in style and scope, beginning with its entrancing opening shots of a mother doe and her fawn in the woodlands of upstate New York — at peace in an environment of verdant, whispering bliss, before being violently connected to our realm. Eric K. Yue’s lush cinematography is sharply attuned to light and texture — the streaks of sun on an animal’s fur, blind spots of deep green shadow in the forest — while equally exacting sound design isolates and distorts what is natural and ambient, making it uncanny...That air of unsettled, unidentified tension is crucial to Rose’s study of lives in passive crisis, nominally holding things together while fading away on the inside. Some fortunate people may leave “The Last Day” feeling that nothing much happened in it at all; others will be raddled, like Julia and Taylor, with searing feelings they can’t or won’t name.

Production: A Killer Films production in association with Luma Projects, Natural Features. (World sales: West End Films, London.) Producers: Lucie Elwes, Rachel Rose, Mason Plotts, Pamela Koffler, Christine Vachon. Executive producers: Maja Hoffmann, Lucas Hoffmann, David Kaplan, Alicia Vikander. Co-producer: Alex Peace-Powe.

With: Alicia Vikander, Victoria Pedretti, Wagner Moura, Marin Ireland, Eva Jade Halford, Jihae, Michael Patrick Thornton, James Waterston and Angela Wong Carbone.

MINOR LEGENDS WINS THE MARZ MARCELLO EXCELLENCE IN NON-BINARY STORYTELLING AWARD FROM NYC PODCAST AWARDS!

Click here for more information on NYC PODCAST AWARDS

New York, NY – Minor Legends, Angela Wong Carbone’s fiction comedy podcast series (writer, actor) was nominated for 3 awards: Best Fiction Comedy Podcast, The Iara Lee Award for East Asian Excellence in Audio Storytelling, and Best Writing in Fiction Comedy. It took home the Marz Marcello Excellence in Non-Binary Storytelling Award for editor Kit Conway and sound designer Sky Sherer.

The NYC Podcast Awards were born from a simple observation: while podcasting has exploded globally, many exceptional creators—particularly from underrepresented communities—remain overlooked by traditional industry recognition.

Founded in 2025 by Silver Sound, an Emmy-winning production company based in Manhattan, the studio created these awards to bridge that gap with the belief that New York City, as a global crossroads of culture and media, is uniquely positioned to celebrate the full spectrum of audio storytelling talent.

Welcoming entries from podcasters and audio creators globally, the awards show’s mission is to recognize excellence wherever it originates.

15 CAMERAS - FEATURED IN NYTIMES WHAT TO WATCH COLUMN

“Five Horror Movies to Stream Now” OCT 13, 2023

Sky (Angela Wong Carbone) and her boyfriend, Cam (Will Madden), got lucky with their starter home. It came cheap, with reason: It’s where a landlord murdered one of his tenants, as documented on Sky’s favorite true-crime series, “The Slumlord Tapes.” The house has room for Sky’s sister, Carolyn (Hilty Bowen, hilarious), and adjacent quarters for two young renters, Wren (Shirley Chen) and Amber (Hannah McKechnie). When Cam finds hidden-away cameras that the landlord left behind, he makes the very bad decision to spy on his tenants, until he becomes both the watcher and the watched. It’s here that Danny Madden’s psychological thriller takes off on its ferocious final stretch.

Some people might be put off by how the writer PJ McCabe finds laughs in sexual voyeurism of the criminal kind. But I found the film to be a smart, twisted and twisty nail-biter about don’t-mess-with-me women and the piggish men they put up with — until they don’t. It’s a more naturalistic companion of sorts to this year’s “Jethica,” which also starred Will Madden (Danny’s brother) as a guy who doesn’t know when or how to stop being creepy.

’15 Cameras’ Exclusive Trailer – The Sequel to ’13 Cameras’ and ’14 Cameras’ Arrives This October

VIA BLOODY DISGUSTING

In the wake of 13 Cameras and 14 Cameras, Gravitas Ventures will next be unleashing 15 Cameras, and the third piece of the trilogy is coming to VOD on October 13, 2023.

From 30 Bones Cinema & Hood River Entertainment, 15 Cameras is written by PJ McCabe, directed by Danny Madden, and stars Will Madden, Angela Wong Carbone, Hilty Bowen, James Babson, Shirley Chen, Hannah McKechnie, Skyler Bible, Courtney Dietz, Erik Leupp, Donna Allen, Brianne Moncrief, Jim Cummings, and Stephen Ruffin.

“When Cam and Sky bought their duplex, it seemed like the perfect investment opportunity for the young couple; a starter home, a mortgage offset by renters, and even a guest room for Sky’s sister, Carolyn. But as Sky and Cam slowly uncover hidden cameras and secrets of the duplex’s previous owner, obsession consumes their marriage and they both fall into destructive forms of voyeurism. When new tenants move in downstairs, their fixation with observing others has deadly consequences and they are forced to confront the very things they have been consumed by.”

MINOR LEGENDS RECOGNIZED WITH 2023 QUEENS ARTS FUND GRANT FROM NEW YORK FOUNDATION FOR THE ARTS (NYFA) AND THE NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS (DCLA)

Angela Wong Carbone Will Present Minor Legends as Part of Award Program

Click here for more information on Queens Arts Fund.

Queens, NY – Angela Wong Carbone (writer, actor) is one of 142 Queens-based artists, artist collectives, and small non-profit organizations to receive funding through the Queens Arts Fund program, presented by The New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) in partnership with the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA).

Wong Carbone was recognized with a New Work Grant for Minor Legends, of which she is the writer and creator, which will bring a live reading to the Queens upon the series launch.

Minor Legends is a comedy fiction podcast that follows five friends in NY who are navigating and redefining the "AAPI experience". Each episode takes place at the gang's weekly dinner hang where they dish on their lives. A part-anthology part-serialized show that explores a different topic (tiger moms, fetishization, therapy, superstition, interracial dating, and more) in each episode and follows our characters as they embark on a journey to understand whatever the f*** AAPI culture means to them. Like Drunk History and Subtle Asian Traits smashed together, Minor Legends specifically addresses (and dismantles, questions, and pokes fun at) stereotypes that AAPI representation has been limited to in traditional media.

The City-funded Queens Arts Fund, administered by NYFA for Fiscal Year 2023, will provide $457,600 in project grants to Queens-based artists, artist collectives, and small non-profit organizations of all artistic disciplines to support the local production of artwork and cultural programs that highlight, engage, and bolster the borough of Queens.

All recipients must have a public component–held in-person, virtually, or combination of both–in Queens within the 2023 calendar year to provide Queens community members with the opportunity to experience dynamic, easily accessible arts and cultural events. Members of the public can participate in Queens Arts Fund programming by following the hashtag #QAF2023 on social media.

THE PLAYLIST | Resurrection

The Playlist names Resurrection (2022) the BEST HORROR FILM of 2022

When a horror film is praised on the festival circuit, one always wonders how it will make the leap to more widespread audiences. For months, “Resurrection” was a film that had been whispered about in festival circles, a movie with a killer monologue and a batshit third act that would leave horror fans breathless. In this instance, the movie was not oversold. It is not too much of a stretch to call “Resurrection” the feel-bad movie of the year. Director Andrew Semans entrusts his film to the capable hands of Rebecca Hall, and the twists and turns that follow — the unraveling of a human being as a result of decades of emotional abuse—make the movie one of the hardest watches of any year; let alone 2022.

SHORT OF THE WEEK | NOTICE ME

Kurt Schneider’s Notice Me featured on Short of the Week 12/14/22

With the camera so close to her face throughout the film, and the entire emotional journey and narrative arc on her shoulders, Angela Wong Carbone, who had already blown us away in Doublespeak, is once more incredibly impressive with a layered and compelling performance that truly captures the nuances of the screenplay. 

DEADLINE | SWIPE NYC ADDS ANGELA WONG CARBONE

EXCLUSIVE: David Walton (Council of Dads), Justin Marcel McManus (Power Book II: Ghost), David Kelsey (Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story) and Omari K. Chancellor (The Greatest Beer Run Ever) are among the newest additions to Sue Zarco Kramer’s short film, Swipe NYC, shooting this month in New York. Others joining the ensemble, led by Lisa Edelstein, Richard Schiff and Bridget Moynahan, include Richard Radutzky, Angela Wong Carbone (Resurrection) and Christiane Seidel (The Queen’s Gambit).

The short follows the adventures of the newly divorced empty nester, Syd (Edelstein), as she navigates the world of online dating in Brooklyn. Each “swipe” serves as a metaphoric stepping stone towards putting the pieces of her life back together. Kramer will direct from her own script and produce alongside Moynahan, Cheryl Bayer and Kelsey. Heather Sederquist is executive producing, with Katia Koziara serving as co-producer.

AsAmNEWS | MINOR LEGENDS x MIXED ASIAN MEDIA FEST

MAM Fest spotlights stories, fosters community for mixed Asians

“We are a very excited, boisterous and culturally relevant community, but I think we often don’t get opportunities to stand alone, to really distinguish ourselves,” Wong Carbone says. “And [Chester-Iwata] has really created this festival as a way to spotlight our stories and our experiences, and I feel really grateful that she’s involved me in it.”

In 2021, Wong Carbone submitted the script for an episode of her podcast Minor Legends to the first MAM Fest. She describes the podcast as a mashup of Subtle Asian Traits and Drunk History. The show features 5 friends who discuss the Asian American experience in NYC over a lively dinner and is filled with bombastic comedy and colorful characters.

Minor Legends won the Best New Media award at the 2021 MAM Fest. Now, this year’s festival features a live recording of an episode of the podcast, which explores the immigration story of Wong Carbone’s Chinese mother. Wong Carbone hopes to continue the success she’s found at the festival as she records the rest of the podcast’s first season this year.

NEW YORK TIMES | ‘Resurrection’ Review: Mother of Fears

CRITIC’S PICK

A successful single mother encounters a terrifying man from her past in this crazily enjoyable horror movie.

“That’s why Hall’s skin-prickling, 7-minute monologue early in the film is so critical. As the screen darkens behind her and her pale face fills the frame, she recounts Margaret and David’s horrifying history with irresistible sincerity. It’s the perfect setup for an ending of such delicious ambiguity it was all I could do not to applaud.”

COLLIDER | 'Resurrection' Review: Rebecca Hall and Tim Roth Clash in an Enticing Thriller | Sundance 2022

Coercive control takes full form in this psychological thriller by filmmaker Andrew Semans.

“The third act is where Director Andrew Semans pushes himself and takes a bold step away from what we might expect and perhaps what we want – giving us a conclusion that is full of gore, completely bizarre, and absolutely fitting for the story he is trying to tell. Coming in at an economical 103 minutes, Resurrection was one of those rare movies that showed during Sundance that I wished was a bit longer. Fleshing out some more of Abbie or Angela Wong Carbone's Gwyn, Margaret's doe-eyed and soft-spoken underling might have added heft, especially since both Gwyn and Abbie serve as foils to Margaret. They are both nurtured by her and Margaret acts as a sort of mentor to Gwyn.”

ROGER EBERT | RESURRECTION (2022)

3 STARS

"Resurrection" starts with a cold open: a young woman (Angela Wong Carbone) sits in a glassy modern office, sharing her man-problems to someone off-screen. Her "confessor," Margaret (Rebecca Hall), is first seen sitting on the side of her desk, her lean body twisted around itself, her neck elongated and exposed in a disturbingly vulnerable and yet somehow aggressive way. Is Margaret an HR representative? Is she this young woman's mentor? The cold open leaves a strange impression. Margaret refers to the young woman's boyfriend as a "sadist," an exaggerated word choice. Her delivery is off-putting. Margaret, in general, is off-putting. Written and directed by Andrew Semans, "Resurrection" is a diabolically intense psychological thriller, with two riveting central performances from Hall and Tim Roth, neither of whom shy away from the dark nutty territory they are required to enter.

ABC TALENT SHOWCASE 2020

Selected for the ABC Talent Showcase 2020

Culled from over 15,000 submissions, Angela was selected to participate in the 46th annual ABC Talent Showcase along with 15 other participants from the East Coast.

SHORT OF THE WEEK, VIMEO STAFF PICK

Doublespeak is selected as a vimeo staff pick, shortoftheweek’s best of the month July 2020

Doublespeak was selected for July’s best shorts on Short of the Week:

“For our favourites films, it was so hard to separate the votes from the team, so I’ve gone for a quartet of shorts, instead of the usual trio. The foursome – described by our team as “subtle and slight but utterly effective”, “one of the best genre shorts ever made”, “a short that works on every level” and a “mini, understated masterpiece” – makes for just under an hour of viewing that promises to toy with your emotions and linger long after watching.”

INDEPENDENT FILMMAKER PROJECT 42nd IFP WEEK 2020

Minor Legends selected for IFP’s 42nd annual IFP Week Project Forum

Today, IFP (Independent Filmmaker Project), announced its Project Forum slate, highlighting 144 feature-length and series projects, including, for the first time, a slate of 36 audio projects, in development and production set to participate in the upcoming 42nd annual edition of IFP Week, taking place entirely online September 20 – 25, 2020.

Minor Legends created, executive produced, and written by Angela Wong Carbone, production by Ruth Du, co-produced by Nick Vango. Over dim sum and shared noodle bowls, friends recount the bombastic, intriguing and untold experiences that come with being a minority in the western world through the lens of “urban legends.” (Fiction)

Lena Waithe and AT&T Take Action to Expand Diversity in Hollywood

In the television industry, it all starts in the writers’ room. It’s the place where characters are developed, story arcs are plotted, and dialogue that defines the actors’ roles is crafted. It’s where negative stereotypes can be dismantled and viewers’ aspirations are sparked. And, despite greater inclusion in recent years, the writers’ room is still the place where an overwhelmingly white male demographic determines the content we tune into and stream. There’s an urgent need for diverse audiences to see characters they can relate to and stories that reflect their world on both the big and small screens. According to a recent report, in the 100 top movies of 2017, 29.3 percent of characters were from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups, 2.5 percent were characters with disabilities, and less than 1 percent of all characters were from the LGBTQ+ community.

LGBTQ+ Stories in the Spotlight: Lena Waithe and Emerging Filmmakers on Inspiring Change

October marks LGBTQ+ History Month, a celebration coordinated by the Equality Forum to recognize current and posthumous achievements of members of the queer community. It’s important to note that, far from being celebrated, gay people have been ostracized, suppressed, and even criminalized until very recently. Their queer identity has been excluded from the history books, and depiction of their lives in art, literature, and film were all but non-existent until the late 20th century. “I absolutely believe there is a lot more queer representation than there was even three years ago. So much progress has happened,” said award-winning writer, showrunner, and producer Lena Waithe, the lead mentor for the AT&T Mentorship Program. “But we still have more work to do—it’s not enough until it’s all equal.” As October comes to an end, it provides an opportunity to reflect on the importance of celebrating the LGBTQ+ community throughout the year.

Meet the Stars of the Interactive TV Series Tinder — Yes, Tinder — Is Launching

Let's get this out of the way right now: Tinder is launching an interactive TV series about a scary apocalyptic disaster. Yes, Tinder. Yes, it might seem weird. But when you stop to think about how nerve-racking dating is IRL, the idea . . . actually makes quite a bit of sense, no?

The choose-your-own-adventure interactive series (think: Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, but hopefully with less murder) is titled Swipe Night and hails from 23-year-old music video director Karena Evans (Drake's "Nice For What," SZA's "Garden"). The microseries will give Tinder users a whole new way to match, since Evans shot Swipe Night entirely from the first-person perspective. Because of that, members are placed directly into the action-packed storyline, dodging threats and making important decisions along with the cast of three talented young stars.
