Child Star

Directed by Roger Noel Austin Lee

Robin, a rising child star, feels trapped in his house, longing to join the laughter of children outside. His attempt to sneak out sparks a wild chase with his over-strict mother, leading to an emotional confrontation. As Robin navigates the complexities of an Asian family’s social culture and the effects of fame on him, the film gently explores the impact on relationships, specifically the mother and son relationship, and how cultural ego plays a big part in an Asian household.
