In this episode of Carolyn Talks..., I had a terrific time chatting with writer, director, editor, producer and actor Anthony Shim, actress Choi Seung-yoon, and cinematographer Christopher Lew, about their film Riceboy Sleeps, which at its World Premiere at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival
Centered on young single mother So-young who moves to Vancouver, Canada with her young son Dong-young, the film takes an unflinching look at how immigrants - be they adult or child - are treated by the people surrounding them in their adopted home country. But Riceboy Sleeps isn't just a story about the immigrant expereince, it looks at the ways women give of themselves in order to provide a home and safety net for their children, as well as find community with other women, and what it means to find home again after feeling displaced.
