Hear, Eat, Home Sneak Peek（中英）
Director Statement & Trailer
HEAR, EAT, HOME is a lyrical portrait of immigrant artists turning war, displacement, and longing into music, art, and shared meals. Thank you for joining this journey. Hear, Eat, Home has been years in the making, and we’re now in the final stage of post-production. With your support, we aim to bring the finished film into the world in late 2026.
🎬 Where We Are Now
We are currently completing:
-
Final edit
-
Sound design & mix
-
Color grading
-
Music licensing
-
Archival materials
To finish these final steps, we are working to raise $200,000.
The film has already touched early audiences in meaningful ways. One musician told us, “For those of us living abroad and unable to return home, the film’s portrayal of immigrant artists really hit home.”
At another work-in-progress screening, an audience member simply hugged me afterward — no words needed to show how much the film meant to her.
As the world feels increasingly divided, stories that build understanding and compassion matter more than ever. This film is my small contribution to a better, more empathetic world.
