Director Statement

As writer, director, and producer, this film, to me, represents both an achievement in filmmaking and a celebration of values I hold dearest to my heart. As the former, 'Where We Left Off' was shot over the course of 18 days in Vietnam, Indonesia, and Korea, without proper equipment or a proper crew and only a single iPhone 14. It stands as a reminder to me that good filmmaking is never about production value but about the strength of the film's narrative and the extent of said film's innovation. As the latter, this film is a celebration of Southeast Asian culture, the value of cultural knowledge, and — most universally — the importance of family. It is my deepest hope that this film may resonate with many people.
