When David’s energetic and charismatic sister Becca comes home for a visit, the two clash heads over lifestyles and hidden loneliness.
BECCA COMES TO VISIT is a 20 minute short film, produced by emerging filmmakers from Stanford University, centered around two Asian-American siblings who look for comfort in each other, but whose clashing communication styles make it damn near impossible. Unfortunate for them, because Becca and David could both use a friend right now, if they could only break down their defenses and say what they really mean.
19-year-old Becca is an energetic magnet for attention, commanding space and leaving her company under her spell. Her older brother David, passive and non confrontational, is tired of feeling like second fiddle to his sister. Tensions begin when she unexpectedly invites herself to stay at his house and, of course, charms his two friends–while drinking from his wine glass. Not one of the many guest wine glasses.
It is the people closest to us we often overlook the most, the people we have always seen a certain way, making honest vulnerability just seem…out of the question. BECCA is a reminder that even our family can get lonely, and the best way to support them may simply be to let them know that we are lonely too.
