Filmmaker Quentin Lee (White Frog, The People I've Slept With, Comedy InvAsian) and author Adi Tantimedh (The Ravi PI series from Simon & Schuster) are creating a sci-fi comedy web series titled Comisery with actors Amy Hill (Magnum PI), Bee Vang (Gran Torino), Sheetal Sheth (Hummingbird), Singaporean pop star Nat Ho, Akemi Look (The Man From Earth: Holocene), Jennifer Field (9-1-1) and Harrison Xu (Shameless), whose second episode will air today, June 1, on Facebook.

Comisery is an apocalyptic science fiction comedy series told entirely through webchat sessions about a group of Asian-American friends living through an invasion by an alien virus now.

Upon each episode's release every Monday, the team creates a Facebook donation campaign with a diversity-related, non-profit organization. For the release of the second episode, the non-profit partner is the Slants Foundation. Viewers can simply donate to the Slants Foundation via the Facebook donate button on the second episode.

Amy Hill is a beloved comedian and character actress who has over 180 film and TV credits on IMDB. She is a regular on "Magnum PI" and has recurred on "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend", "UnReal", "Preacher" and "MOM".
