Utah Filmmaker Showcase: F-1

This event represents the Artist Foundry and its year round programming with the Utah Filmmaker Showcase.

Featuring a post-film panel with the film’s director Ya-Chi Yang.

Facing social and political instability in the US, and also in some of their home countries, four foreign university students from four different countries – Mali, Bangladesh, Egypt, and Taiwan – struggle internally and externally with their own versions of the American Dream as they pursue their degrees in Utah—can they forge a life here? The film follows the students from 2020 to 2023 as they battled the pandemic to achieve their dream: graduating, getting a job, and having a family.
