When a scheduling mishap forces grieving photographer Peter to share his late sister’s New York apartment with the bold and chaotic Alice, an unexpected weekend unfolds. As the two Asian Americans clash, bond, and explore the city, they confront identity, loss, and the strange intimacy of shared spaces. Banana Split is a bittersweet, sharply funny portrait of grief, culture, and accidental connection.
Director"s statement on the film: "I drew inspiration from films like Before Sunrise, Lost in Translation, and Frances Ha. I wanted to tell a story about Asian-Americans who are complicated, three-dimensional humans wrestling with identity, the weight of cultural expectations, and belonging. So many Asian-Americans born in the US live with an internal conflict: we’re not quite one thing or the other. I wanted to explore that tension authentically and without easy answers.”
