Asian-Americans have long yearned to see themselves represented in the lead roles of major Hollywood movies. With a little digital wizardry, William Yu is making that happen right now.
Yu, a New York-based digital strategist, has superimposed the faces of popular Asian-American actors onto those of the main characters in scenes from “The Avengers,” “The Hunger Games,” “Ghost In The Shell” and other films. He’s released the clips under the hashtag #SeeAsAmStar, which he launched to coincide with Asian Pacific American Heritage Month in May.
