Aaron's Thoughts
One of my favorite parts about Sundance is discovering the filmmakers that will be part of our lives for years to come. The past few years have been extra special because more and more of those new voices were from my generation. 2022 gave us Cooper Raiff, 2023 gave us Molly Gordon, and now 2024 gives us Sean Wang.
Didi is a remarkable portrait of adolescence in 2008 told only as a member of Gen Z could tell it. From capturing messaging friends to growing up with YouTube and Facebook, there is so much there that will allow so many to reminisce on that time. As warm as it all is, there is an uncompromising nature as well to that era - no revisionist history around how people talked, whether that was right or wrong. Loved the essence of the film & can’t wait to watch Sean for years to come.
