A delightful lockdown-themed short by Vancouver-based writer and director Athena Han. Equal parts relatable and absurd, “Hey Yú” follows a man named Kent who attempts to juggle a phone call from his parents with a deadline for a Zoom call, all while noticing something strange going on with his goldfish.
“This film was done during the pandemic, and it was shot with team of 8 people (cast and crew). It is part of an anthology charity film that will be released later this year. The film is inspired by my personal experiences of working from home alone away from majority of my friends and family.”
