RAMEN // preproduction

"Ramen" began as a short story written for Nina Schlosser Tarano's Fiction Writing class. The film itself was written, produced, and directed during the COVID-19 pandemic during my gap year.

"Ramen" would not have been possible without the help of everyone around me. Special thanks to my family for supporting my passions and being on set, my great aunt for lending the production her apartment, Christina Shen for being my eyes on the project and supporting from Hong Kong, Griffin Somaratne for designing the pitch deck, everyone who lent their creative hand on set, and all the Indiegogo donors who financially supported the project. I'm sure I'm missing many people. It takes a village to make a film.
