Support young filmmaker Lucy Tian to bring her vision to life!
Everyone has experienced the heartbreak of a friendship breakup some point in their life. 10-year-old Lexie is no different. After an awkward moment at her best friend's birthday party, Lexie tries to buy a better gift to win back her friend. When she wins prize money from a ballet performance, she finally gets what she's always wanted, the perfect gift, her friend's approval, a long-lasting friendship... but is this what she truly wants? Will she realize who the gift should truly be for? The person who's always there for her, the person she felt embarrassed of, the person she hurt, the person who, despite everything, stood beside her all along?This is the story of the short film, The Gift, directed and produced by Lucy Tian.
When Lucy was little, her mom brought her to America. As the new Chinese kid, she was awkward, and she struggled to fit in. When she met another Chinese girl in her ballet class, she was so desperate for her friendship and approval that she ignored her family. Eventually, she learned to understand her mother and accept herself, even if it meant losing that friendship.
As a filmmaker, Lucy loves digging into her past for authentic stories that speak for her, and The Gift is definitely one of them. Through this heartwarming narrative, she'll explore the unique bond between she and her mother, a close yet un-lasting friendship from her childhood, and most important of all, the theme of personal growth.
