Q&A with Angela Yuen
Tuesday, July 21
Hong Kong’s first all-female esports team, Dollhouse, has broken up, and its five members are pretending they are totally, absolutely over it. They are not. Reborn as the Gamer Girls, Summer (all-around leading girl Angela Yuen), Raven, Kaki, Lilith, and Miko turn a neighborhood cha chaan teng (a Hong Kong–style diner) into an improvised tournament hub. Soon the little tournament becomes bigger than they had planned. But weeks before citywide team selections, a sweeping account suspension threatens to knock out the entire local scene. Veronica Bassetto and Sophie Yang’s debut makes girl power mash the controller buttons. Avatars flash, fly, and pulse as the team chemistry hums right under the surface. These girls are not logging out. A Film Movement release.
