Embrace

Embrace
This feature is about an Iranian medical student struggling to make ends meet for the sake of her family. Situated at the backdrop of Oakland, an Iranian-American girl named Kat sets out to save her family from a pending financial crisis by taking on a surprising side hustle.

This is a culturally diverse tale of quasi-surrealism dramedy. Directed by Jessica Sanders, it is a dive into cultural diversity that captures the ever increasing needs of forming human connections and its following commodifications of it. It screens alongside Chemo Brain – a light hearted drama about a derailment of a teenage guy.
