Ins of 2026: house parties, physical media, saying what you really mean
Outs of 2026: plastic tupperware (glass only!), overthinking, growing up too fast!!!
After two years of holding this one tight to my chest, House Rules, the first ever short film Iโve written and co-directed, is available to watch on YouTube via @watchcrafty . Link in bio ๐ ๐ฉ๐ปโโค๏ธโ๐โ๐จ๐ผ ๐๏ธ๐ชจ๐
Kai and I got to work with some of the best people on this film (you know who you are, and I love you all dearly!). You helped turn a silly short film idea about messy hookups and household shoe etiquette into a reality, and for that, I am eternally grateful <3 Many thanks also to the generous people who donated to this project, as well as the lovely festival programmers at @seattleaaff@asiancinevision@vietfilmfest@pacartsmovement who graciously played our film on the big screen (yโall are crazy for that!!!).
WOOHOO and ENJOY! xx
