"A mother is not a person to lean on but a person to make leaning unnecessary." Dorothy C. Fisher
Let's Eat
"Let’s Eat is an 8-minute animated short film that centres on the relationship between a mother and daughter in a Chinese-American immigrant family.
As a single parent in an unfamiliar country, Ma’s entire life centres around raising Luan, her rambunctious young daughter. Likewise, Luan spends her childhood indulging in endless quality time with her playful, loving mother. However, as Luan grows up, it isn’t long before daily life interferes and causes mother and daughter to grow apart. By channelling their feelings into cooking, the two strive to find their way back to each other, one homemade meal at a time.
Ma and Luan’s tale touches upon mother-daughter relationships, and the unspoken translation of love into food - familiar themes reflected through a fresh perspective." [watch video]
