About Dragoness:
Dragoness follows two Asian painters from rural Pennsylvania, RAE and LEO, during their first year of a prestigious fellowship under the stewardship of TOBY, their pushy and vocal boss. When white-passing LEO, whose work exploits violence against Asian women's bodies, gains clout as the new local “up-and-coming” Asian artist, RAE collaborates with LEO's ex, STEPHEN, on a takedown article to cancel her rival.
Dragoness interrogates the ethics of reinventing art and identity to fit the interests of those in power and asks: what does it mean to represent your community when profit is involved?

LEO: White passing woman of asian descent (Wasian). Pretentious, edgy. Raised in PA. Has a deep jealousy of Rae. Digs into asian womanhood as the topic of her art. A well known regional artist, on the brink of becoming huge. Recovering alcoholic. Mid 20s.
