The Film That Found Me

From Producer Vico Wei: 

Why do we need films and television in our lives? For me, they make my experiences feel richer and more layered. When I watch a story unfold, I often find myself tracing it back to my own memories, noticing the parallels between a character’s choices and the paths I’ve taken. Some works also allow me to slip briefly into a more emotional state in the middle of an everyday life that usually requires clarity and practicality. They open a pathway between myself and the world, where even the smallest things—a bit of wind, the movement of water—can stir something deep in my memory and sharpen my sense of being alive.

This podcast series focuses on those moments when films or shows unlock something emotional in me. Each episode explores a specific moment when art and my life quietly merge, revealing the ways stories shape how I move through the world.

This episode centers on two memories involving my mom and my grandmother. It looks at how watching a film brought those moments back to me and helped me better understand the ways they showed love.
