A capsule of moments I’ve held onto tightly during post-grad. In English, 國語, 日本語 filmed/edited by Isaac Kau on camcorder.

A 93-year old Taiwanese widow recounts her love story with her late husband and the sacrifices they made for their children while 6,891 miles apart.

IF YOU WERE HERE is a grandson’s depiction of Ama (grandma) Kuo’s love story with her husband, Akong, and her struggle to support 6 daughters in the United States while Akong worked to support them financially back in Taiwan. As Ama recalls pieces of the past, I visit their original home in Taiwan with old photos in hand to see how the pieces fit. IF YOU WERE HERE is an exploration of who my grandparents once were and what it means to love across seas, generations, and death.

The iPod nano, existential music, and a walk in the park.
