Under the Seasons(2027)
Under the Seasons is a year-long portrait of a mother and her three year old daughter living inside the quiet rhythm of nature in Texas.
Filmed across the shifting light and subtle changes marked by the East Asian solar terms-the 24 micro-seasons that shape the year-the film observes plants, weather, daily rituals, and small moments from spring to winter.
This film is ultimately about time, how a mother witnesses a child grow, and how a child learns about the world through the seasons.
What begins as ordinary days becomes a record of time itself: how a year forms a child, how seasons hold memory, and how tenderness and attention can turn the smallest moments into something larger.
