Zhuolin and Vaibhavi fell in love during the summer of 2024. At the time, they were both working in Los Angeles, California, in the film industry. After meeting on a short film set, Zhuolin, working as the director of photography, and Vaibhavi, working as the 1st Assistant Director, exchanged contacts and quickly became best friends. They feel so much love towards one another, it's as if they're falling deeply in love for the first time. Hours and days go by faster than you can count; it feels like they found their homes in each other. Zhuolin took Vaibhavi on a date, and they started their relationship in July 2024, knowing the potential hurdles they were going to face in the future. Vaibhavi, originally from India, came to the U.S. as a graduate film student, and her US visa expires in January 2025.
After experiencing an amazing 6 months, they've also been talking to a lot of different lawyers about the visa situation, but nothing seems to work out. As the dates were counting down, they decided to write a short film together, a piece of art that they could cherish forever, for this first chapter of their relationship. And so they did, with incredible help from their friends.
About two months before Vaibhavi's departure, they walked down memory lane, plucking moments from their relationship and pouring them into this film with love.
