▶ Director's Note:
hi all! i'm christina xing, a 21 year old director that's based in LA. i've posted some other thing's on my youtube channel but it was also important for me to post my most recent short film, in hopes, that some of you can also relate to this :') (especially my fellow asian americans)

'THIS OLD DOG' is about how i idealized my absent dad a lot of my childhood, even though he had hurt my family so badly and wasn't present for my childhood. this is the most vulnerable i've ever been.
i've put off releasing trailers or the actual film for months because i was embarrassed of being this honest.... and being shameful towards my family. ('losing face'). but i made this film for myself & for the closure i never got. and i am ready to tell my truth now.

IT WOULD MEAN THE WORLD TO US if you retweeted/liked the trailer on twitter or you can continue track the progress of the film's release via instagram.
