Focus Features Buys Sundance Award Winner 'Didi' (variety.com)

 

The film follows a 13-year-old Taiwanese American boy in the throes of an awkward adolescence, as he enjoys the last month of summer before high school begins. He experiences the pangs of first love, becomes friends with some skaters (after promising to make videos of them), fights with his older sister and gets a hard-earned understanding of his mom. It is set in 2008, when MySpace was still a thing and TikTok had yet to explode.

I kind of forgot this movie existed but I was reminded when I saw the trailer with Robot Dreams. Sounds like something I would probably like.

I just got an invitation to an advance screening of this movie via letterboxd. Can't make it, but cool.
