Hi! My name is Bea Phi (they/them). I’m a Vietnamese American film critic, editor, and arts worker in Brooklyn, and I’d love to write about Asian cinema and literature for you. You can read my writing below.
Currently, I’m an editorial assistant at BOMB MAGAZINE, an assistant editor of online resources at POETS & WRITERS, an assistant at THE SPACE PROGRAM, and a library consultant at the ASIAN AMERICAN WRITERS’ WORKSHOP, where I’m helping digitize the historic Asian/Pacific American Journal. Previously, I’ve freelanced for HARVARD GRADUATE SCHOOL OF DESIGN’S PAIRS, BOMB MAGAZINE’S ORAL HISTORY PROJECT, WIKIPEDIA’S SOCIAL MEDIA, and others, as well as helped research for BENEATH THE MOUNTAIN: AN ANTI-PRISON READER edited by Mumia Abu-Jamal and Jennifer Black and published by City Lights Books in 2024.
I frequently edit the English Wikipedia and wrote articles like CRITERION CLOSET, PERFORMATIVE MALE, SMISKI, BECOMING CHINESE, WASIAN, WONYOUNGISM, SWAG GAP, OFFICE SIREN, KATSEYE’S GAP AD, and over five hundred others as mentioned in THE NEW YORK TIMES.
