Adele Lim on Crazy Rich Asians and representation in film and TV by Akinna Aquino
After finding Adele Lim on a popular Facebook group used to share delightfully relatable memes between members of the Asian diaspora, I flippantly joked with my partner that I would reach out to her and ask if she would consider speaking at the London Screenwriters Festival. Just imagine what it would do for underrepresented screenwriters to listen to the woman who was part of making Crazy Rich Asians the monumental global success it had become. To my absolute joy and excitement, Adele Lim responded that she was happy to do a session with us and within a week we made it happen!
