Overview

Jules is a Chinese-American festival director experiencing burnout while trying to support her community through cinema. She learns that concepts like visibility, representation and doing good work carry their own costs. Working under her clueless nepo-baby boss Eric, and dealing with demands from Cathy, a diva actress from the 1980s attempting a comeback, Jules depends on the Core 4, volunteer-interns who argue constantly yet somehow prevent the festival from falling apart. With the Asian American Independent Film Institute Film Festival’s Opening Night approaching, everyone involved faces the challenge of keeping the event on track while avoiding interpersonal conflicts.
