The 10-day Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival , known as PAAFF, begins Thursday and it all kicks off with a new film, starring Margaret Cho.
In “All That We Love,” Cho plays Emma, whose grief over the death of her beloved dog opens up a space to approach love in a new light.
“Figure out, like, what’s really important in your life. And like, reassess your relationships, reassess sort of the way that you deal with loss,” she said.
It’s a comedy and drama.
“I think it’s a really, just one of those beautiful small stories that’s actually very universal,” Cho said.
The film’s director, who based the film on his own loss, will fly in for the Center City screening and a talk afterward.
“And I’m very grateful to to be able to have those kind of conversations and to be able to sort of channel a lot of my own sort of grief into, you know, a piece of work, and and have that work be seen, and share it with people,” said director Yen Tan.
“Lucia says she wishes we could be at the premiere, too,” Cho added.
