This week on the Awards Tour podcast, our host Jacqueline Coley sits down with award-winning actor and director Joan Chen, who stars in the 2024 Sundance Film Festival critical darling ‘Dìdi' as a Taiwanese immigrant mother to a fiery 13-year-old boy trying to navigate life and friendship in the suburbs of northern California. Written and directed by Sean Wang, ‘Dìdi’ tackles family dynamics, racism, and middle school growing pains all during the early stages of YouTube and social media.
Listen in as Chen discusses how she got involved with ‘Dìdi,’ including receiving a heartfelt letter directly from Wang, how her character mirrored her own experience of raising first-generation American children, and what’s next in her already legendary career. Be sure to check out ‘Dìdi’ now available on Fandango at Home, and we’ll see you on the next stop on the Awards Tour.
