Sujata Day reached the breaking point. There was a year during pilot season when all of the Indian American female roles were tied to some kind of arranged marriage plotline, she tells the American-Statesman over the phone last week. “I was just like, ‘Oh my god, I can t do this anymore,’ because me and my Indian American friends growing up, that s not something that we ever experienced with our parents or our families. Although there are some great movies and TV shows that have a plot line like that, it just doesn t have to be every single plot line.”
So, Day started writing her own roles. The Pittsburgh native makes a star turn as Monica Chowdry, a former spelling bee champ turned slacker, in the comedy-drama “Definition Please.” She also directed and produced the film, which will be the closing night feature for the Austin Asian American Film Festival’s virtual/in-person hybrid event this year.
Indian American actress Sujata Day of HBOâs âInsecureâ fame has donned the directorâs hat for the first time for a story that is close to her heart.
Day has written/directed/produced and stars in âDefinition Please,â a dramedy which follows a former spelling bee champ still struggling to make good on her childhood promise while contending with a complex family life.
Alongside Day the film stars Ritesh Rajan (Sonny), Anna Khaja (Jaya), Lalaine (Krista) and Jake Choi (Richie).
The 90-minute drama follows the journey of Monica Chowdry, once a Spelling Bee champ, who now lives with her ailing mother in a Pennsylvania suburb, where she tutors prospective spellers. Although she lands a job as a clinical research lab technician in Cleveland, she is unable to decide on the path forward for her.
