What’s My Name? | Trailer
2026, 8 minutes, screener of the film is available upon request
Do you keep your name or change your name when immigrating to another country? My Chinese name is difficult to pronounce even for my closest friends in America. This film is a playful exploration of their many attempts to get it right, of cross-cultural identity, and of the nuances of language. Beginning with the simple directive—What’s my name?, I document our conversations around the importance of a name and its declaration of ethnicity.
As an artist and filmmaker working at the intersection of culture, migration, and belonging, I strive to reveal broader truths about who we are and what it means to cohabit as a fractured collective. What’s My Name? continues my ongoing exploration of how geography, allegiance, and language shape our sense of self and our understanding of one another.
