depicts the stories of Asian immigrants in the rising and
affluent neighborhood of Flushing, New York. It portrays
the clashes and confrontations of Western and Eastern
cultures, second generation immigrant mothers and daughters,
and the forgiveness and reconciliation that the families
eventually come to. The focus is on 4 young ladies: May,
Maria, Kelly and Jennifer, building off of classic
storylines with the modern and immigrant twist of Jane
Austen’s
“Pride & Prejudice “ and “ Sense and Sensibility”.
Main Street
is produced by Dr. Jeannie Yi, Scott Rosenfelt,
independent producer, is the show’s producer, lead writer
and director. Jeannie Yi, is alsothe co-executive
producer and created the story.
Scott Rosenfelt, the creative force behind Main Street
and the iconic "Home Alone," delves into uncharted territory
to pen, produce, and direct a story set in a place he'd had
little experience with. But he was drawn to the story since
it could shine a spotlight on the best of humanity.
Scott embodies this sentiment, venturing into diverse
cultures to unearth universal human truths.
Main Street accentuate humanity's beauty and
our collective yearning for community and family. Stories
that bridge gaps, foster understanding, and rekindle trust.
As countries engage, mutual visions draw them closer. By
bringing Flushing to Hollywood and vice versa, we're taking
the most important step towards global harmony. It's a
journey we should all partake in, fueling positivity around
the globe.
While the Chinese see Main Street as a reflection of
their diaspora, Americans perceive it as a universal
immigrant tale.
After all, immigrant stories are intrinsically American.
