Crew
Yu Qu - Writer & Director
Qu is a Chinese girl who is studying film in Emerson College. She loves writing dramas and she usually makes it ended in some unexpected ways. She started to make short films when she was in the high school back to China, and the one called Invisible Happiness was screening during her commencement. Qu loves travelling and she’s been to 15 different countries. She believes that travelling and reading can inspire her to create good arts, and she also think good arts have no boundaries.
Frosting is her BFA thesis film for her senior year in Emerson. “Freedom is to stand alone, unattached and unafraid, free in the understanding of desire which breeds illusion” is her motto and it’s also why she decided to make this film. Qu has spent a half of year on this film and she really wants to see it to come out. If she can get enough funds to finish the film, Frosting will be screening in Emerson Paramount Theater by the end of April.

Damon Blankenship - Co-writer
Damon is an inspiring writer/director, but above all he sees himself as a storyteller. As an only child, he spent most of his time watching movies. Often he would try to come up with his own stories or continue the stories he saw up on the big screen. Some of the many genres that influenced him and his work are the Western and, more recently, Horror. Damon sees the act of making a movie as a special privilege. When people go to see a movie, they go there to escape their everyday lives, even if it is just for a couple of hours. To be able to do that for people, for him, is what makes all the hard work worthwhile.
