Filmmaker Statement

SOUL FOOD is my attempt to understand the emotional nuances in an imperfect relationship that, at its core, is built on real love. This story is about miscommunication and our inability to see through the pain we inflict on one another. But, it is also my way of figuring out how to find love and healing after turmoil. My hope is for this film to speak to those who have difficult relationships with their loved ones and, perhaps, by watching Fah and her mother explore complicated emotional nuances, they can relate and feel seen, too.
