Father's Day

As a writer,actor and Director myself I tend to be a harsh critic. I thought "Father's Day" was a well written, well acted short film. They packed a lot of content into a small amount of time...but didn't overload the viewer. Well done!

Father's Day packs a big punch into a small running time. The acting is excellent all-around, and the simple setting and setup lets us get to know the characters and care for them. Family can mean a lot of different things, and there aren't always easy answers or clean beginnings and endings. This film manages to work within that framework, and yet still seem satisfying.

The humor supplements the drama, and never overwhelms it. The tone is light throughout, yet it has a strong emotional impact.

Big recommend!

I just watched this short and I haven't been moved by a short like this in a long time. Great great pay off.

Betty Ouyang writes, directs, and co-stars in this hilarious and relatable short film about family and sacrifices. A father comes to visit his daughters for Father's Day only to learn about the sad truth of daughter's living and career situations.

There's a lot of great dialogue between the two sisters that is snappy and believable. As someone who was raised by old school generation parents, I was able to relate closely to the situations presented here. The characters are in the entertainment industry with one being a writer and the other being an actress. Being in this field requires a lot of sacrifice and perseverance. The characters discuss their odd jobs with their father. I was nodding my head and laughing the whole time as it felt like conversations I've had with my own parents.

An overall wonderful film with great performances, writing, and directing. Highly recommended!

What a truly amazing drama with a twist of comedy wrapped up in a real life family situation known to too many families especially Asian families in this generation. A revelation to our times and the director stays true to the truthful family situations versus the crazy rich kind!
