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. The film was well-received at Sundance, winning the U.S. Dramatic Audience Award and showcasing Wang's unique voice in filmmaking. Chris, played by Izaac Wang, embodies the insecurities of teenage boys, highlighting the difficulty of emotional expression in a culturally conditioned environment. Wang's earlier short documentary, "Nai Nai & Wài Pó," earned him an Academy Award nomination, paving the way for the anticipated release of "Dìdi." The film's blend of comedy and drama reflects both personal and collective teenage experiences, resonating with audiences across generations.
