Philadelphia area Graduate Thesis Film – Working Title: The Bustling at a Late Night Carnival
The Bustling at a Late Night Carnival tells a late coming-of-age story of a newly-arrived Taiwanese girl’s exploration who comes to America with an imagination, but comes to find out she is in the midst of a riotous festivity with the carneys. In this exploitative system where everyone struggles to survive, her inexperience leads her to betray her colleagues and becomes outcasted. The film centers on her attempt to fight against the stereotypes and come to terms with the understanding of her own image.
