LA: Free Screening to “Adultolescence” at USC!
May 25, 2011 by Lance Carter
USC film school graduate, Vicky Shen, humbles the “Tiger Mom” controversy with her new film “Adultolescence.”
“Adultolescence” will be playing as a free screening on June 6 at the USC School of Cinematic Arts. “Adultolescence” comes from the blending of two words “adolescence” and “adulthood.” Using the story of stagnation for one twenty-something to reveal larger themes of the economics of emotions for post-grads and their parents, the film also blends the dual identity of American-born children of immigrant parents. It is ultimately a story about finding peace with the parents, after being boomeranged back home after college, by growing to accept them rather than the other way around. The film’s greatest asset, unbeknownst to itself, is demystifying the TIGER MOM debate by revealing that there is no unifying rulebook when it comes to Asian parenting and garnering an interesting portrayal of an Asian mother by humanizing the individual, rather than making her a stereotype.
