Love, Mai

Directed and written by Danielle Phan during their senior year of VCU Cinema.

A Vietnamese family becomes separated after tragically losing their eldest daughter. When the younger sister gets an incredible opportunity, the family must find a new way to settle their differences and connect once again.

The film was awarded an Undergraduate Research Grant from VCUArts to expand Buddhism and Vietnamese-American canon in film. We were also recently selected for Viet Film Festival’s 2023 Program.
