Plot Summary:This past summer I spent a month in Hong Kong with my family in the house I grew up in. In Donkey Riding, I gather hand-processed and rephotographed 16mm from my trip back home along with scrapbook audio recordings revealing some of my early attempts at speaking: broken sentences interrupted by toy sirens. Images of Toyko streets and Los Angeles highways, captured on trains and out of car windows, share moments with intimate images of people who are happy to see me. I explore these deeply familiar faces and spaces by indulging in curiosities about the potential of 16mm film.
