Though it wasn\u2019t planned, it\u2019s somehow fitting that Vincent Lin finds himself in postproduction putting the final touches on his feature directorial debut,\u00a0Chopin<\/em>, as May–which is Asian American and Native Hawaiian\/Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month–fast approaches. The timing is apropos not only because of Lin\u2019s heritage as a first-generation Taiwanese American but also the nature of the\u00a0Chopin<\/em>\u00a0narrative. While it is ultimately a father-and-son story, the character in the title role (Chopin Wu portrayed by Eddie Liu) is too a Taiwanese American–in this case, second generation–who returns home to a small U.S. town to amend an estranged relationship with his workaholic dad (Leon Dai). With a sudden appearance from his ailing grandmother (Wu Min), Chopin Wu is confronted by a past he had left behind. In the midst of a health crisis and a broken family, he is forced to re-examine old relationships, embrace a heritage he once denied, and discover the importance of family and identity.<\/p>\n

While Lin noted that\u00a0Chopin<\/em>\u00a0is not biographical, the story was sparked in part by his upbringing as he was raised in small-town America–including Knoxville, Tennessee, and Central Pennsylvania–before moving to New York City where he embarked on a filmmaking career. In 2015 he teamed with exec producer Matthew D\u2019Amato in 2015 to launch Valiant Pictures, a minority-owned production company that cut its teeth in commercialmaking and has since diversified into varied content.<\/p>\n

Lin and D\u2019Amato founded Valiant to help give voice to talent from underrepresented communities, based on the belief, said Lin, that \u201cthe most interesting and memorable stories come from storytellers from different, unconventional backgrounds.\u201d Valiant set out to nurture those filmmakers in order to \u201cbring something new to the table,\u201d connecting that talent with agencies and brands.<\/p>\n

In recent years that talent has come to the fore in\u00a0SHOOT<\/em>\u2019s New Directors Showcase (NDS) with filmmakers such as\u00a0Alexandra Henry, Em Weinstein and Justice Jamal Jones making the NDS cut in 2019, 2020 and 2023, respectively.<\/p>\n

Lin recalled feeling the impact of a film from Jones called\u00a0Notes On A Siren<\/em>\u00a0which interweaves themes of African spirituality, Black queerness and non-binary identity. Henry made an impression with her\u00a0Street Heroines\u00a0<\/em>documentary, introducing viewers to a group of Latina graffiti artists. And Weinstein made a favorable impression on Lin with a short film from France,\u00a0Michelle is a Man\u2019s Name<\/em>, which tackled trans identity along with themes of masculinity and fatherhood.\u00a0Michelle is a Man\u2019s Name<\/em>\u00a0went on to win the Grand Jury Prize for U.S. Narrative Short at Outfest 2020 and qualified for Academy Award consideration.<\/p>\n

Lin emphasized that Valiant doesn\u2019t connect with these and other directors just because they \u201ccheck off a diversity box\u201d but rather due to the stories they tell \u201cbeing interesting to us.\u201d He added that as different as their backgrounds or belief systems might be, these varied directors tell stories that retain an element of universality–striking a relatable chord in that we can all find common ground in self-identity issues regardless of ethnicity or sexual orientation.<\/p>\n

Chopin<\/em>\u00a0and commercialmaking\u00a0<\/strong>
\nGetting back to AANHPI Heritage Month and\u00a0Chopin<\/em>, Lin feels that significant progress has been over the past couple of decades relative to Asian representation behind and in front of the camera. \u201cWe\u2019ve become more visible,\u201d he observed, adding that there is increased \u201cpositivity\u201d in the Asian American community regarding the availability of opportunities. \u201cThere are untold stories that people are hungry for and receptive to. We\u2019re in a connected and more curious world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Lin continued, \u201cAsians aren\u2019t just categorized in front of the camera as they were 20 years ago–as computer nerds and kung fu masters….Still, as a community we need to be diligent to avoid pitfalls.\u201d He affirmed, \u201cOur biggest assets are our differences. Let those stories shine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Towards that end, Lin observed that caring and commitment are needed to bring about diversity and inclusion. \u201cIt comes down to caring about it. It\u2019s like losing weight, for example. You can suggest exercise, nutrition and so on, but if someone really doesn\u2019t care, nothing\u2019s going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Helping\u00a0Chopin<\/em>\u00a0to happen has been a steady process over the years. Lin wrote a script which he sent around to friends and colleagues in 2016. And though he didn\u2019t always focus on the project–given that he spent considerable time and effort on getting Valiant Pictures established–Lin kept \u201cchipping away\u201d at\u00a0Chopin<\/em>, constantly rewriting and revising. Among the challenges from a narrative standpoint, he shared, was \u201chow to tell a story that at the core deals with identity, a generational and cultural struggle, but in a way that doesn\u2019t come across as preachy or melodramatic.\u201d While it\u2019s a story of depth, there was also the need to \u201cdisguise it in a way that\u2019s entertaining,\u201d handling it with a degree of levity.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t until 2020 or so that he felt \u201creally good\u201d about the dramatic comedy script. Helping to corroborate that assessment was\u00a0Chopin<\/em>\u00a0ranking high among the 2020 Motion Picture Academy Nicholl Fellows, cracking the Top 50 Screenplays list as a semi-finalist for the writing fellowship.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to today and Lin at press time was in post on\u00a0Chopin<\/em>. But there\u2019s still, he said, \u201ca long road ahead\u201d for the independent film, seeking the proper exposure, securing distribution and so on.<\/p>\n

Lin noted that his experience in commercialmaking has proven\u00a0invaluable in helping to bring\u00a0Chopin<\/em>\u00a0to fruition. \u201cComing into my first feature film as a director, my many years of experience as a commercial director was probably my greatest strength.\u201d Lin explained that comercialmaking made him accustomed to creating a visual language for a film, taught him the importance of prep and hiring good people, and made him comfortable with workflow, collaborating with key department heads and assuming a leadership role.\u201d<\/p>\n

Valiant is no stranger to theatrical motion pictures. In 2018, the company stepped into the feature filmmaking world, acting as producers on\u00a0Clementine<\/em>\u00a0(director Lara Gallagher, IFP Film Lab, Sundance Creative Producing Summit), followed by\u00a0Snakehead<\/em>\u00a0(director Evan Jackson Leong), and then post supervision for\u00a0Porno<\/em>, director Keola Racela\u2019s film which premiered in the 2019 SXSW Narrative Competition.<\/p>\n
