After graduation, Jay reluctantly returns home to reunite with his father, from who he has grown apart. After a long day of exploration in the old house that he does not recall, Jay recollects pieces of memories from his parents' old collections and photos that prove his father's love for him.
Director Bio:
Hsuan-Wei Wu (Jackson) is a Taiwanese Christian filmmaker, an MFA film graduate at City College of New York, and the BAFTA NY 2020 Scholarship recipient. His short film“The Angel in The Globe” has won multiple awards and has screened in numerous film festivals all around the States. Hsuan-Wei focuses on making films about Asian Cul¬ture, gospels, and human connections.
Director Statement:
In a Taiwanese family, conflicts do not necessarily come from verbal arguments or physical
assaults but lack communication or the inability to express oneself verbally. Asian people tend to
be more introverted and not knowing how to say the line “I Love You.”
In this film, I’m going to depict the core of traditional Taiwanese family and how people also
express love when not saying it.
Parents like to preach about what they did for their children’s good; however, a misunderstanding
makes the most lethal weapon and eventually contaminates the intended affection. It is like
communicating with someone that speaks a different language.
In this film, I want to depict the core Chinese culture and family discipline. Family is an essential
part of Chinese culture, but when there are conflicts between the family members, how people
resolve the issue and together to make the family a shelter and a much better place. As the main
character Jay, I always know that my father loves me and will always love me, but there were
still conflicts between my father and me. Even though I have already been through so many
depressing states in my family, I continue struggling to learn and understand my father’s way of
loving people.
