New “Chang Can Dunk” Trailer Debuts On Disney+
With March Madness right around the corner it seems like the perfect opportunity to start talking about “Chang Can Dunk”. Disney+ has released the trailer for “Chang Can Dunk” which will make its big basketball debut on Friday March 10th.
This original film follows Chang an Asian American student who plays in the high school marching band. His world is flipped upside down when he bets the school’s basketball star that by time Homecoming rolls around he’ll be able to dunk. Of course this is no easy feat for 5-foot-8 Chang. In order to catch the eye of his crush he’ll need to find the skills he never knew he had.
This inspiring coming-of-age sports comedy stars Bloom Li, Dexter Darden, Ben Wang, Zoe Renee, Chase Liefeld, and Mardy Ma. “Chang Can Dunk” is written and directed by Jingyi Shao, who makes his feature film debut.
Says Shao, “This movie is my love letter to basketball and about how it helped me better understand family, friendship, and the Asian American/immigrant experience; about growing up and taking responsibility even when the odds are against you; and about learning to believe in yourself and break through not only the barriers set by others but more importantly, the barriers set by yourself.”
Rajani and Waithe add, “We’re so proud of this film. Jingyi and the entire cast and crew have poured their hearts into telling a brilliant, nuanced coming-of-age story that we believe everyone will be able to relate to. Growing up, we all had our version of a ‘dunk’—a dream, some lofty goal—that we thought would change our lives for the better. Chang Can Dunk is about the pursuit of that dream, the desire to be seen, and the lessons we learn along the way. It’s inspiring, empowering, and full of humor and heart. We can’t wait for audiences to see it!”
“Chang Can Dunk” is produced by Rishi Rajani, Lena Waithe, and Brad Weston, with Pamela Thur serving as executive producer.
