Filmmaker Statement

Bobo & Bibi in Miami began with a quiet question I’ve been carrying for years: What does it really mean to show up for someone you love, especially when you’re unsure, anxious, or not at your best? On the surface, this is a playful, feel-good animated romcom about sloth DJs and a big festival gig. But beneath the humor and music, it explores something softer. It’s about vulnerability in partnership, and how we carry each other through the strange and often overwhelming process of becoming ourselves. Bobo and Bibi’s journey through airport stress, public attention, and those small but sharp social misfires felt completely real. Like many of us, they are simply trying to stay grounded in a world that keeps accelerating. This film isn’t about grand twists or tidy resolutions. It leans into something quieter and more human — the courage it takes to show up, to listen without fixing, to dance through the nerves, and to love without needing it all to make sense.
