Blue

Blue is a short film about the struggle of being different.

Blue is about the societal struggle to accept differences as a quality, rather than a nuisance. The idea of this film was inspired by my own experience as an immigrant who came to USA to pursue my dream In filmmaking.
although Blue is very much influenced by my own experience, I still believe the core message is relatable for others who shared the same challenges.
“Blue” can be the story of immigrants, women, people of color, minorities, and all the people out there who are being excluded or rejected from the society.
