We're talking about one of our favorite movies of the year with director/writer Sean Wang and actor Joan Chen! DÌDI (弟弟) follows a 13-year-old Taiwanese American boy during the last month of summer before high school begins, as he learns to skate, flirt, and love his mom. We get behind the scenes details of the first (and most intense) scene with Joan and lead actor Izaac Wang, learn why playing this role was both cathartic and redemptive for Joan, and how Sean believes the best part of filmmaking makes him a better person. Then we cap it off by celebrating both the diversity of Fremont, California (where the film is set), and the magic (and longevity) of Golfland.
