Show Notes

Oscar-nominated filmmaker Sean Wang's latest feature film, "Didi," is a slice of life story about Chris, an impressionable teenager living in Fremont, California. It's summer, and the 13-year-old spends his time aimlessly skateboarding and flirting with his crush on Myspace. Chris often clashes with his immigrant mother, whose rigid expectations for her son clashes with his own desires and ambitions. Wang joins to discuss his feature directorial debut, which is out in theaters on July 26.
