361 - Tokens w/ Winnifred Jong & Connie Wang
Manage episode 352103591 series 3289757
Winnifred Jong is the creator of the hit webseries Tokens (season 2 premiering on the Roku Channel on January 10th). Set in the world of actors cast by productions desperate to hit their diversity quotas, Season 2 of TOKENS pivots from the comedic overuse of On Call Casting, the democratic Uber-ization of diverse representation in Season 1, to a comedy about the hunger-gaming of casting and the need to stay ahead of the trend. Sammie Pang (Connie Wang), in her quest to find a meaningful role, quits On Call Casting and lands a Hollywood agent and, seemingly, the role of a lifetime. She soon realizes being on top isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. Season 2 moves the idea of inclusion in front of the camera to the need for authenticity behind the camera.
Winnifred is joined by series star Connie Wang (Odd Squad, The Boys).
