Joy Ride is the directorial debut of Adele Lim, the Malaysian American writer behind the game changing Crazy Rich Asians & Disney’s Raya, the Last Dragon. In Joy Ride, we meet four Asian American friends who make & break their friendship bonds as they travel through Asia in search of identity, discovering what it means to know & love themselves and each other. Joy Ride, like its namesake, is a bold, caustic & raunchy Asian diaspora romp.
MilkTea hosted a very special free preview of Joy Ride at Vue Piccadilly on the 1 August. There was a kawaii photo booth & some very R-rated cookies!
As part of our collaboration, we developed You, Me & Adoption, a companion piece to the film which was co-created with the following adoptees from our British ESEA community: Andrei Nikolai Pamintuan, Jun Seok Kim, Mariano Valenciano Venida III & Shaofan Wilson. You can see this guide here.
