The film explores the gap between immigrants who leave their identities behind to adapt to a foreign country, versus their children, who as second generations, freely pursue what they want. GLORIOUS MRS. KIM raises questions on if the Internet’s community-building nature can be relevant for older immigrants and LGBTQ acceptance.

The Tipping Point
Little things can make a big difference. Watch how these female-driven films – although short – will make you laugh, cry, gasp, or fall out of your chair. Your evening won’t be the same. – Dorothy Xiao
