We’re going to the movies! Thanks to our good friends at the Asian Cinema Collective, we’re holding a double feature this May for moviegoers and wanna-be cinephiles alike. We proudly present Katarina Zhu’s ‘Bunnylovr’ and Berni Jiang’s short ‘Mango Seed’.
We were lucky enough to chat with Zhu late last year. Below is a small snippet it from the article (read the full interview here):
I’d like to discuss the character of Rebecca. When I was researching the film, you said it wasn’t your intention to play her, but then at some point, you couldn’t give it up.
I’m going to contradict myself (laughs). Somewhere in the back of my mind, I always knew that I wanted to play the lead. A big part of why I came to writing and directing in the first place was because I was auditioning a lot and not getting anything. I didn’t really see myself in any of the roles I was going for.
Berni Jiang is a Sydney-based filmmaker whose sophomore short, Mango Seed 芒果芯, has been playing the festival circuit for a year this June. Have a read about the film below:
After an ordinary day at the produce markets, a Chinese working-class father is met with the announcement that his daughter is moving to another city to pursue her dreams. Faced with the approaching separation, they struggle to express to each other the words in their heart.
Feel free to message or email us for any further information. Make sure to not miss your early bird tickets.
Come through, watch some films, and finally meet Yellowbelly in the flesh (I’m sure many of you reading this have already). See you soo at the movies!
