About My Own Family’s Film
My Family History: Hong Far Low
Hong Far Low was one of the very first restaurants in Boston’s Chinatown, and it was started by my great-great grandfather in the late 1800’s. As a kid, my family knew I wanted to tell stories, and encouraged me to talk to my grandparents and great uncles & aunts to document that story. I kept saying I could “get it later,” but as years pass, people get older, and those stories get lost.
In 2019, I decided to use my storytelling, research, and filmmaking skills to create a short film about the restaurant and my family history.
I preserve family stories through video, documentation, digitization of photos and videos, and craft an entertaining and heartfelt short documentary that can be passed down through the generations.
