2023年的夏天，7月27日，我收到一封邮件邀请我面试。差不多两个月后，我开始了我人生中的第一份正经工作。在很长的一段时间里，我感觉自己在进行一场漫无目的的步行，不知道从哪来，不知道该往哪去。手下的底片一张又一张，类似的人与事循环往复，我好像听到了回声。 I’m beyond excited to share that my short documentary DAILY WORKER has been selected for the Best Mini-Doc Competition at the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival in Missoula, Montana! The film will have its World Premiere at @bigskydocfest , screenings on February 15&16. Grateful for this opportunity to be part of the wonderful program! *Image courtesy of the Tamiment Library & Robert F. Wagner Labor Archives, NYU Special Collections.
