Father's Day

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!

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.

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

When a father comes to visit his two daughters for what should be a day of remembrance and celebration, a series of very funny family dynamics are set in play. I caught this gem in a screening at the Chinese American Film Festival, and loved it. I won't spoil with full details, but an out-of-earshot argument between the two women builds to one of the funniest spats I've seen. Very fun, funny, well-written and performed film.
