Luigi M BarragánOctober 7, 20255-year old I-Jing’s innocent and playful point of view leads us into the adult world of complicated family relationships in this touching and funny coming of age gem. The kind of film I love!

PS. Intimate iPhone cinematography?! Iconic natural performances? Impeccable comedic timing matched with heart wrenching punches? A charming child performer stealing the audiences hearts?? The Shih-Ching Tsou + Sean Baker duo have crafted another indie home run for the ages!!!

Oct 5 – SFU Goldcorp – 3:15pm
This had Sean Baker's fingerprints all over it. Might as well have called it The Taipei Project.
What a wonderful story. Shot very interestingly — all on iPhone, perhaps? Great performances all around from the entire (gorgeous) cast. Such a cute little kid too. Child actor performance of the year without a doubt.
