We’re super excited to announce New Year, New Me – a Lunar New Year Overwatch zine!

About Us:

We are a group of 13 artists with Asian heritage. We hope to share our lunar new year traditions and showcase the diversity of various Asian cultures!

Zine Specs:

  • 5.25 x 8.25” – full color
  • Both digital and physical copies will be offered
  • Saddle stitch, with wrap around cover
  • Page count: ~30 pgs 
  • Each artist will illustrate 1 LNY tradition from their culture with a brief explanation of the tradition. We cover everything from delicious new year recipes to traditional games to play with your friends~ 

Proceeds:

Artists were given the choice to opt in to donating their portion of the profits to a charity. 10 of the 13 artists have chosen to opt in, which means 77% of the zine’s pre-order proceeds will be donated to Asian Americans Advancing Justice which provides legal aid and political advocacy for various Asian American communities.

Female cinematographers: Rachel Morrison
Mudbound (2017)

Directed by Dee Rees

“I mean to me everything about this film wanted to be analog and unfortunately at the end of the day we just couldn’t afford to shoot on film without losing shooting days, and we didn’t have enough shooting days as it was. So ultimately we had to shoot it digitally but I was doing everything I could to breathe the analog back into it because I feel like there’s a real tactile quality to a visible, palpable grain, so I did some of that in camera and some of it in post. The way films that are about food you want the audience to feel like they can taste it, in this case I wanted to try to make the audience feel like they were walking in the mud and dealing with the elements and burning in the sun, that kind of thing.” – Rachel Morrison
