Director Statement

As a Chinese-Australian Director, my vision was to use this film as an opportunity to explore the ways that different generations and cultures approach grief.

Grandpa, as an immigrant and Maddy as an Australian born Chinese, have very different cultural experiences informing their choices. Despite their arguments and different approaches to grief, at the heart of their relationship is love, caring and understanding.

Thanks to the wonderful work of actors Maurice Lee, Mathilda Kwok, Sally Cheng and the incredibly talented crew we were able to bring that vision to life.

We all hope you like the film.
Jordan Law.
