Filmmaker Rui Huang is new to the scene, but you wouldn’t have thought it by looking at her work in her HollyShorts Film Festival entry There You Are. With this film, the digital designer-turned-director has created an intimate portrait of unresolved grief and the way it obstructs the main characters’ father-daughter relationship. Narratively speaking, the film is almost a whisper of feelings. Indeed, it’s There You Are’s visual design that speaks loudest: from knitted textures to vintage patterns, the film is maximalism at its finest.
