Laos had essentially no film industry to speak of, but Mattie Do is diving right in.
She envisions the film as a meditation on what we would change in our lives if we had the chance to go back for a do-over and whether we even should, if this were possible, and also how, even in a world with spaceships or microchip implants, people will still be lonely and have their regrets.
She feels that her outsider status as an American has helped her frame Laotian life and culture in a way that's accessible overseas, while her Laos roots keeps her work from getting"preachy,""condescending" or"white savior-y." Only one or two films are made a year in the country. The industry is challenged, of course, by a lack of equipment and infrastructure, and government funding, but Do adds that it's also lagging because people are too prone to copying previous successes.
