Dìdi (弟弟)

2024

Fremont, CA. 2008. In the last month of summer before high school begins, an impressionable thirteen-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. Dìdi (弟弟) is a portrait of adolescence told through the hyper-specific lens of Wang-Wang, a 13-year-old first-generation, Asian American, child of immigrants. Loosely inspired by Sean’s own upbringing.
