Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Alice Wu directed this as a branded short for OREO's #ProudParent campaign, continuing her career-long focus on queer Chinese-American family dynamics after 'Saving Face' (2004) and 'The Half of It' (2020).
The film's use of untranslated Mandarin dialogue — left for Chinese-speaking audiences to catch emotional nuances others miss — mirrors the very communication gaps it depicts.
