Can you guys believe it? The Ambitious Official Teaser is finally here!! AND we got a website?! Well shiiiiiii - 😌💅

What started as a Senior’s last effort to use all of Temple University’s resources …. grew into a Sundance-supported project. Ambitious was first made in 2018, and now it’s back - bolder than ever.

We are so grateful for our cast and crew’s hard work and talents, and we are incredibly proud to have a series that speaks loudly for the voices of Philadelphia’s Vietnamese and Cambodian first-gen students.

Think we’re done here? I think not! Executive Producers and Co-Creators Jenna Lam and Samantha K. Tan have also been selected to be jurors for Temple’s Diamond Screen Film Festival for the Narrative category. Wow, the Ambitious team is killin’ it!

Happy ! 💜 We just wanted to give a a quick shoutout to one of our producers, 3 Left Handed Women!

With experience in TV, film, and entertainment all over Philly, these three women represent a myriad of backgrounds and cultures, including, Black, Asian, Mexican, queer/LGBT and of course, left-handed. Together they bring a large portfolio of experience and a variety of skill sets to the .

With the goal of intersectionality in all the work we do, we can't help but give them their own spotlight on this very special day! Thank you, Diana, Phuong, and Suzi!
