2024 SFFILM Festival: Dìdi (弟弟)—Sean Wang Interview

Sean Wang is a fan of coming-of-age movies, citing as a start Rob Reiner’s Stand By Me, François Truffaut’s New Wave classic The 400 Blows, Lynne Ramsay’s Ratcatcher, Céline Sciamma’s Water Lilies, David Mickey Evans’ The Sandlot, and Eliza Hittman’s It Felt Like Love. But none of those movies stars an Asian kid or has a Taiwanese American kid from the East Bay as a protagonist. For that, Wang would have to make his own film, and he has with Festival opener Dìdi (弟弟).

Hear from Sean in this interview on the SFFILM Festival Red Carpet with our Festival correspondent Amy Gutierrez. Read more about the making of Dìdi (弟弟) at our website.
