Riceboy Sleeps (dir. Anthony Shim) x VIFF 2022.

Shim writes and directs a beautifully touching Korean-Canadian mother-son family drama full of social realism inspired by his own childhood […]. Set and shot mostly in the sleepy Vancouver suburbs (filmed in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows), we follow an immigrant single mother struggling to raise her young son with cultural pride while assimilating in 1990s Canada.

• Premiered at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival as part of the Next Wave Selects program.
