One overseas phone call, but one phrase was lost to the receiver of the call.
Artist Statement:
Between unsatisfying phone calls, between every Chinese holidays I grew up with but no longer remember to celebrate, between the haunting hours of COVID solitude, between the repetitive motions of life, between new moons and full moons, between catching up on World Cinema, between autobiographies and suicidal authors, between Bryant Ave and 33rd, between cat naps, between uprisings and trials, between the smell of incenses, you might find the grief in my lungs, breathing in and breathing out. This is a film in honor of my grandmother, who is breathing with me in the spirit world and patiently waiting for me to return.
