Girl / Dad

An intimate father-daughter journey that unfolds across four decades, starring Sherry Cola and Chris Tallman. Girl / Dad follows a Chinese adoptee and her single father as they navigate cultural identity, belonging, and an unbreakable bond that is tested when dementia begins to erase their shared history. From childhood moments of both disconnect and deep understanding, to a bittersweet role reversal in their later years, the film explores how love can transcend memory itself.

Letter of Forgiveness

In the household of a wealthy Romanian noblewoman in 1855, Maria, a Roma-Gipsy slave, fights to obtain freedom for her son Dinca. Part of a future full-length project, the short film presents a day in the household in which Maria and her son, Dinca, serve as slaves. As important guests arrive for dinner and all the slaves are making preparations, Maria and her son see this day as a chance to take a step to change their fate. During slavery time, up until 1856, the Romanian equivalent of the word "forgiveness" was used when referring to freeing someone from slavery (the Roma slave was "forgiven" from slavery).
