Meet the people behind the project

Francisco Aliwalas
Director/Editor/Director of Photography
“SLANT, to me, was an alarm clock, a call to arms, and a war cry. SLANT wrapped their loving, indignant arms around me, telling me: You’re not invisible anymore!” – Francisco Aliwalas

George Hirose
Executive Producer
“Slant is more than a band or a performance group, it is a concept. Taking a potential slur and turning it around to create a vehicle for empowerment and solidarity. Slant represents our Pan-Asian American community through songs and stories that create a bond and addresses the commonalities between us with wit and urgency.” – George Hirose

Karen Lee
Executive Producer
“Their artistic endeavors have fed the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community for years. I am one for whom they have taught much of the cultural discrimination, activism, and sacrifice that continue to this day. My hope is that their message, through their craft, can reach a wider audience. –Karen Lee,
