“There’s a sense of longing to escape, to leave, in this image. I think about the people on that plane as much as I think about the kids that are watching the plane. I think about the people what they’re leaving behind. It’s about regrets. It’s about sacrifice. I don’t know, maybe they’re much more scared than they are hopeful in that moment,” @thumbelulu tells CULTURED. The filmmaker behind ‘The Farewell’ released the first two episodes of ‘Expats’ last Friday. The limited series unspools the lives and losses of a group of affluent foreigners living in Hong Kong. Starring Nicole Kidman, Sarayu Blue, and Ji-young Yoo, the show is an aching and atmospheric dive into how we carry collateral damage, and what happens when it starts to define us. Ahead of the third episode’s drop tomorrow, Wang called CULTURED to talk about a photograph by Singaporean photographer @_nguan_, which hangs in her Los Angeles home and influenced the visual language of both projects.

This is probably one of the most vulnerable interviews I’ve done to date. Thank you to the brilliant @samfragoso @karoline_ribak @talkeasypod for diving deep and being a constant reminder of how to stay human. Thank you @krishnabalashenoi for the very cool hand painted portrait and @juliuschiu for the photos. Much love to everyone who listens.

You have to laugh or you’ll cry. @thejackhuston and I have known each other for a long time and my favorite thing in the world is pranking him. I love growing together as collaborators. He is TREMENDOUS in everything he does, and I’m astounded by how much humor and humanity he brought to David. Photo 3 is “the cupboard” I hid in to shoot THAT scene in Episode 3. Out now on @primevideo !
