Director Statement

¡Llámame Chinita! shows the pressures and subsequent exhaustion from cultural expectations that are projected on all Chinese women. From our friends at home who pester us constantly, to our mothers who are always pushing us towards motherhood, and our jobs which seem to expect an inhuman dedication. Lulu, like me and many others, is desperate to leave these things behind but can never seem to get away. She travels to Mexico during the pandemic for respite, but the chime of her phone is bombarding her at all times.
