The Red String

The Red String

The Red String takes an intimate look at how four mother-daughter pairs create and incorporate culture, heritage, and tradition in their families. The mothers -- three Caucasian and one Chinese American -- and their young Chinese-born daughters share their thoughts and feelings about their choices, culture, and single-parent families.

Tongues of Heaven

Tongues of Heaven

With 96% of the world’s population speaking only 4% of the world’s languages, what does it mean to speak your mother tongue in this age of language homogenization? Set in Taiwan and Hawai'i, territories where Austronesian languages are spoken, the experimental feature documentary Tongues of Heaven focuses on the questions, desires, and challenges of young indigenous peoples to learn the languages of their forebears — languages that are endangered or facing extinction. Using digital video as the primary medium of expression, four young indigenous women from divergent backgrounds collaborate and exchange ideas to consider the impact of language on identity and culture
