Oral History Shorts is an ongoing series of short-form moving-image works centered on first-person oral histories within Asian American communities.

Developed through long-term interviewing and community-based research, the series focuses on everyday experiences, family memory, migration, labor, and intergenerational relationships. Each short film is shaped by the cadence of spoken testimony, allowing voice, pause, and silence to guide structure rather than conventional narration.

Rather than functioning as journalistic documentation, Oral History Shorts approaches oral history as a collaborative and interpretive process. Interviews are translated into intimate moving-image works that emphasize presence, gesture, and atmosphere, foregrounding the emotional texture of lived experience.

The series exists as a growing body of independent shorts that can be presented individually or as grouped programs, and also serves as a foundation for larger exhibition and film projects.

Oral History Shorts is developed as part of the long-term initiative From Homeland to Hometown, supporting broader exhibition, moving-image, and research-based projects.
