Hi, I’m Victoria Yu — a filmmaker, storyteller, and student at Northwestern University studying radio/television/film and data science. I've created stories that explore Asian-American identity, friendship and loss, and the emotional realities of young people today. From directing award-winning short films to producing content that has reached over 200 million views online, my work centers on using media to spark empathy and connection.

My name is August Martone, and I am currently attending Northwestern University, studying radio/television/film. After working on Applause for a Cause last year, I am more than excited to be given the opportunity to direct this absolute blast of a story. I am also excited to work with Lydia Home and help to share some of my passions with a younger generation.
