In “Parallel” our main character Lucy is at dinner with her family who talk to each other in Cantonese. Unable to speak the same language, she contemplates how she does, or does not, feel bonded to her family and heritage. To create the somewhat lonely experience of feeling on the outside listening in, we kept framing observational - capturing textures and non-verbal cues that Lucy could focus on during a soundscape of the family talking and eating. Hopefully we show that body-language can be worth a thousand words. Writer and Director:

As a child what I knew of Chinese cooking was our beloved local (biggup Shangki-Li), mum’s rice cooker and tales of chicken feet when my Dad and Step-mum would visit Hong Kong. Growing up (and largely thanks to
@ojtdop
who cooks a mean mapo, and tbh the whole Robbins' fam) I learnt more deeply about the nuances, the beauty, and the endless bundles of flavours Chinese culture has to offer. Was so fun to capture some of the many delectable dishes on the
@pearldragonrestaurant
menu in all their radiant glory. The last still is of Paul the fish who brought back memories of pressing my face against the tank when we’d go collect on Friday nights. Writer and Director:

Last year I had the pleasure of working on “Parallel”, a short film that contemplates ideas of belonging, non-verbal communication, and family heritage. This project had such a profound effect on me. Being and working in a room surrounded by faces and mannerisms that reflected my Chinese family was something I’d never experienced in my professional life. A feeling that’s hard to put into words but one that I will cherish forever. I'm grateful to have met so many talented asian and dual-heritage collaborators through this film and for it to have unlocked a new sense of identity and community within myself. Utmost respect, love and gratitude for the whole team who put their time and effort into this, and thank you thank you Rosanna for allowing me to shoot this beautiful exploration of the British-Chinese experience with you.
