After awkwardly coming out to her conservative parents, an Asian-American teenage girl takes off on a road trip to meet her online crush with the help of her nerdy best friend. Bursting with colorful animation and kinetic comic book flourishes, EGGHEAD & TWINKIE is a heartwarmingly sincere directorial debut about embracing your identity and the ups and downs of best friendship.

Before the 2023 feature there was the award-winning 2019 short. Egghead and Twinkie are best friends who are both about to reveal a secret: Egghead is in love with Twinkie. Twinkie is a lesbian.
