Mandarins
Best Dramatic Short at the 2023 New Hampshire Film Festival
Dr. Sarai Koo plays Jenny Chu.
This film is about an emotional and compulsive black sheep Olivia Chu who reunites with her estranged family by crashing her mother's funeral. Determined to say something but ill-prepared, Olivia unintentionally delivers an offbeat eulogy that sends her two dutiful older siblings, Jenny and Michael, scrambling to save face in front of friends and family. Competing eulogies ensue, painting a larger picture of each of the siblings in relationship to each other and the complex woman they've come together to honor that day.
