A young girl witnesses a small glimpse of what the secret life of her father looks like as an immigrant parent.
I made this Proof of Concept/Short Film in my final yr at AFTRS (2023). I wanted to make a POC that showcases the real daily struggles and experiences that immigrant parents face in today's world. More specifically, how these bad experiences come from people of similar culture.
This film was inspired by true events.
