1. Q&A
by StoryCorps
1 year ago
Kay Wang was a strong-willed grandmother who was reluctantly taken to a StoryCorps booth by her son and granddaughter. Though Kay resisted, she still had stories to tell—from disobeying her mother and rebuffing suitors while growing up in China to late-life adventures as a detective for Bloomingdale’s department store. Kay passed away just weeks after that interview, and her son and granddaughter returned to StoryCorps to remember her gentler side, which she kept to herself.

    Great Stuff. I think her not wanting to answer the questions is the most endearing part of this....and the backgrounds. The backgrounds are gorgeous.

    Your films are always the top of the crop. I like the additional coda to the end of this - drinking tea. I'm still a curmudgeon about the 4's, but that's the way of the world today, I guess.

    Great work, once again guys! I think this is my favorite one so far. The character design is brilliant, and matches the narration track perfectly. I love how you played with the scale of the characters, especially in the shot where Kay confronts the shoplifter. Awesome.
