(Re-uploaded with subtitles) Happy Asian Heritage Month! To celebrate, I wanted to create a film which depicts an experience that many immigrants go through - the shame and guilt of forgetting your mother tongue. And of course, the endless love and support our Halmeoni's will provide for us.
I'm ever so grateful to have been able to create this film with the support of amazing folks who believed in my story, and I hope it resonates with you :)

Everytime I watch this video, I cry! It good ways, bad ways, all kinds of ways. I am a first gen immigrant and mexican american. My parents didn't teach my Spanish growing up because of a lot of reasons. I've spent years learning and I'm just now able to hold conversations and navigate. But there's still barriers... and I have a hard time conversating with my grandmother. I love her so much and I know my time with her is won't be forever. This video truly encapsulates so many complexities and dynamics into a short minute and a half. Incredible work and I hope to see more in the future

I don't think I've ever gone from neutral to crying that fast in my entire life. Thank you for this.

Wonderfully made and a strong message that resonates with so many 2nd generation migrations

This was amazing, so impressive that you were able to make me feel something that quickly is really impressive. I’ve felt the same frustration as the woman in the film a lot. When my family first came to this country from Norway, they came to an area where there was so much xenophobia that it was dangerous to let anyone know you weren’t American. My family had to change their names and stop speaking the language. I’ve been studying the Norwegian language for years because I feel the cultural connections to Norway that my family passed down behind closed doors, but it’s very hard. And I hate that the main reason why I can’t speak the language fluently is because of the hatred of others. You did a great job creating something someone like me can connect to so strongly in such a small amount of time. Thank you.

The short film may have been brief, but it managed to touch my heart deeply. Growing up with my granny, she always felt like a mother to me. Watching the film for a few minutes was all it took to bring tears to my eyes. I miss her so much, and I can relate to the emotions in the film. Despite its simplicity, the film is beautifully executed.
