I Filmed My Mom For 10 Years
I’ve filmed my mom for over 10 years, and this is one of the most meaningful films I’ve ever created. What began as an effort to document memories became something much deeper- a story about family, identity, culture… and recognizing how the people who raise us continue to live through us. If you’ve followed Mama Lai over the years, we also turned many of her recipes into a digital cookbook here: https://www.mamalaicooks.com/ I’m drawn to stories that preserve what matters- family legacy, personal identity, cultural roots, and the moments that quietly shape who we become. I take on a limited number of legacy films for families and founders. If this resonates, I’d be glad to connect.
