It Ain't Necessarily So captures a budding Japanese jazz singer and her biracial vocal instructor who struggle to agree on the proper way to sing Gershwin’s “I Loves You Porgy.” Humor is no stranger to jazz singers Eiko Katayama and Kazue Hiraoka who star alongside Masa Fox, their English teacher.

"Master at capturing hyper-awkward moments... brilliantly explore how representations of culture and identity ain’t necessarily how they appear."

--Wilda Wong, San Diego Asian Film Festival
