Sean Wang's feature film debut, "Dìdi," explores the universal struggles of adolescence through the lens of a Taiwanese American boy named Chris, who navigates life in the Bay Area during 2008. Drawing from his own experiences, Wang captures the messy, often humorous journey of growing up, touching on themes like absentee fatherhood and immigrant family dynamics.
