A Short Film by Anamon Studios
Let’s Eat follows the story of an immigrant mother and her daughter as they navigate through the beauty and challenges of life. Despite the difficulties they face, the warmth and love of family provides comfort and closeness, and cooking becomes a symbol of their unconditional love for one another.
Dixon Wong is an American film writer and director, and is the co-owner of Anamon Studios, a small independent studio based out of San Francisco. “Let’s Eat” is an 8 and a half minute animated short film, and is his debut as a writer and director. He wanted to tell a story about how we often lose sight and take people for granted, and to show appreciation for those who held us and supported us from the beginning: our parents.
