I play reluctant superhero Skye Daniels. I am human in that I can fight and perform martial arts and parkour extremely well; as can my BFF Emily Chang (played by actress Olivia Cheng). Skye possesses the supernatural ability to "time-slip," making her able to see what is happening in a different space and time dimension--but she can't control it very well, it just kind of happens. People keep showing up on Skye and Chang's doorstep needing help, and just by their helpful, protective and loyal natures, the pair end up becoming a crime-fighting duo. I love the tag line on the poster, which sums up the story beautifully: You Never Know How Strong You Are Until Being Strong Is Your Only Choice.Skye & Chang at the 38th American Indian Film Festival--San Francisco
