Synopsis
After an upbringing of Western assimilation, a Korean-American woman attempts to connect with her cultural roots by conjuring up a mystical creature from an ancient Daoist recipe.
Director’s Statement
I aim to elevate the voice of a first-generation immigrant point of view, simultaneously bringing about a sense of diversity along with unity in the fractured themes which may encompass all minority groups. In language barriers, disconnected families and spiritual longing, I hone in on my Asian heritage and Daoism. Daoism’s seriousness in magical perspective parallels the importance of creative expression and storytelling for me. Using under-the-camera animation techniques such as replacement animation of photographs and 2D puppets made out of packing tape transfers, the film juxtaposes earthly materials with an ethereal mythology and is synthesised into a visually demanding riddle.
