Director's Statement

From New York City to my hometown Wenzhou, bidding farewell to my lover and moving back with my parents, I don’t feel at home anywhere anymore.
Will You Look At Me, in which I point the camera at my family and myself, is a personal essay on fear, silence, and love. Through the camera lens, my distant gaze seems to be given justification and courage.
​As I was filming my mother, I wondered what it was like to be in her womb, before I was born, when we were the closest and connected, in the water.
