Loveboat Takeout is an experimental docu-fiction short about the director’s family business endeavor of opening a Chinese restaurant in Miami, FL. The immigrant population comprises half of the Miami population, most being Latin American. There’s an overall consensus in the city that the labor of immigrants is essential, however, there’s less recognition of the Asian population’s entrepreneurial endeavors. Overall, the film is a celebration of the Asian diaspora and opens up a dialogue about labor and diversity in Miami. (MiamiFF 2023)
