Father's Day

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 didn't know what to expect when I started watching Father's Day. After finishing, I really love the honesty Betty portrayed in her writing and the performance by the talented cast. It was hilarious and real at the same time. Seeing the relationship between the father and daughters was really well done. As an as an Asian-American, seeing their different cultural point of views of how one should live life really hit home; parents wanting their children to live a 'normal' vs the children pursuing an artistic career. I really hope to see more of Betty's work in the future.

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!

Fantastic job! Perfectly encapsulates the struggle of being an artist and having parents you want to make proud.

The story is told in a manner that helps the viewer truly understand the struggles that all up and coming Actors and Actresses face just to get themselves recognized in a cutthroat business. The fact that Betty Ouyang, the Outstanding Writer, Director & Actress utilized her own real life family experience to create a short heartfelt message that resonates with most viewers wanting to fulfill their lifelong dream. I'd love to see Betty Ouyang be given more opportunities to explore the deep, dark struggles faced by many in Hollywood and the Rewards given to those who ultimately succeed.
