简介：Pria is a South Asian teenager who is experiencing her first real crush. She has the same problems as any other teenager, but of course in her mind those problems are exaggerated. She is a movie buff and loves to escape into films with her best friend Anita. Pria would like to approach the object of her affection but is too self-conscious about her heavy South Asian accent. She uses her accent as an excuse to mask her real insecurities. She decides to make a concerted effort to lose her accent by mimicking famous lines spoken by her idols from the silver screen. While it seems like a good plan at first, her family and friends become concerned when they misunderstand the words she’s saying. Along with this confusion, the practicing doesn’t rid Pria of her accent. Finally in an act of desperation she makes a wish, which actually comes true and allows her to speak proper English. After all of her effort, Pria finally must build up the courage to approach the young man she has a crush on, which doesn’t seem very easy even with her new accent-free voice. In the end Pria comes to realize that her differences really don't matter and she had nothing to worry about.Forms: Narrative Fiction, ShortGenres: Family, Comedy, Magical Realism, Romantic Comedy, Dramedy, CultureNiches: Asian, Women, Youth/Teen
