Dìdi (弟弟)

Written, directed, and produced by Sean Wang, Dìdi (弟弟) follows an impressionable 13-year-old Taiwanese American boy during the last month of summer before high school begins where he learns what his family can’t teach him: how to skate, how to flirt, and how to love your mom.

Sean is a filmmaker from Fremont, CA, currently based in Los Angeles. His latest film, Nǎi Nai & Wài Pó (Grandma & Grandma), premiered at SXSW 2023 where it won the Grand Jury Prize & Audience Award. It went on to win top awards at SIFF, AFI Fest, and was acquired by Disney+ to release in early 2024.

Love Me

Set long after humanity’s extinction, Love Me is a totally unique and surprisingly affecting romance featuring a buoy and a satellite that meet online and fall in love.

Sam and Andy Zuchero are a filmmaking team from Topanga, California. Making art together since their teens, Love Me is their first feature film, premiering at Sundance 2024.

Making a deeper creative impact

Dolby Institute Fellowships help filmmakers achieve their full creative vision. With partners like the Sundance Institute, SFFILM, Film Independent, Chicken & Egg Pictures, and Bolivia Lab we identify independent films from around the world that are using sound and image to tell unique and exciting stories. We then provide these filmmakers with access to Dolby technologies and expert post-production support to help their films connect with audiences who will love them.
