Boiling Point by Richard Nguyen
As a member of a Little Saigon gang and son to Vietnamese refugees, Richard learned early on that he needed to game the system before it gamed him. Bound to his gangmates by crime and toxic masculinity, Richard thought he'd finally found his "chosen family." But everything changed when he watched his childhood hero get arrested for dealing crack. With his way of life suddenly endangered, Richard adapted like any repentant gangster would, and attended Harvard University to study medicine.
As if dropping out of medicine weren't shameful enough, Richard's family practically disowned him when he pivoted to screenwriting to explore his own family dysfunction and intergenerational trauma. His work has been recognized as a HUMANITAS New Voices Finalist and Tracking Board Top 100 Pilots and Winner of the Mentorship Prize. He is currently a WarnerMedia Access Writers Fellow and is repped by Industry Entertainment.
