About the Film:
Dìdi won the US Dramatic Audience Award at Sundance back in January. It is Sean's critically acclaimed directorial feature film debut based in part on his own experience.
Film Synopsis:
In 2008, during the last month of summer before high school begins, an impressionable 13-year-old Taiwanese American boy learns what his family can’t teach him: how to skate, how to flirt, and how to love your mom.
*Tentatively, there may be a happy hour prior to the screening and a Q&A with Director Sean Wang after the screening. Details to be confirmed closer to the event date.
