Actress Wanted

In this intergenerational exploration of Vietnamese American diasporic identities, cultural memories, and collective trauma, director Minh Duc Nguyen crafts a twisted tale concerning Vu (Long Nguyen), a lonely recluse, and his employment of a local, young actress, Mai (Thien Nguyen) to help him relive the experience of his beloved, dead wife in this Hitchcockian thriller.
