Winn and starring Kieu Chinh as his grandmother in 1972 Saigon, competes in the official selection of the Danang Asian Film Festival, marking the actor\u2019s first time returning to Vietnamese soil in competition with a film of her own.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cMy life has carried me from Saigon to Hollywood and back again, but Vietnam has always remained in my heart,\u201d Kieu Chinh tells <em>Variety<\/em>. \u201cTo return now with \u2018Chrysalis,\u2019 and to have this film welcomed in competition in Danang on Vietnamese soil, feels like coming home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tDANAFF IV runs through July 4, in Danang, organized by the Vietnam Film Development Association in partnership with the Danang People\u2019s Committee. \u201cChrysalis\u201d is one of the festival\u2019s selections in this year\u2019s edition, which also carries a \u201cFocus on American Cinema\u201d program, and its presence in competition lands as something closer to a homecoming than a premiere for nearly everyone connected to the project.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe film is adapted from \u201cThe Scarcity of Love,\u201d Winn\u2019s memoir, which traces his journey from a childhood in Vietnam through displacement and loss to his later career as an internationally recognized painter and sculptor working in a style he calls \u201cExistential Surrealism,\u201d using dreamlike compositions to examine the nature of existence. Directed by J. Robert Schulz from a screenplay by Andrew Creme, based on a story by Winn, Randall J. Slavin and Schulz, \u201cChrysalis\u201d intercuts Winn\u2019s present-day life as an artist, hammering at a mysterious metal apple in his studio, with his childhood in war-torn Saigon, where a boy nicknamed Cu Den navigates an absent mother working in a brothel, a stepfather who offers him neither love nor support, a stint in a Catholic orphanage where he is bullied and falls ill, and a sudden reunion with the father he believed dead.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAt the center of all of it is his grandmother, Ba Noi, the role played by Kieu Chinh. It is Ba Noi\u2019s act of selfless love in sending the boy to the orphanage, and her unwavering care in the years that follow, that allows his artistic spark to take hold as a means of self-expression amid the chaos around him. \u201cI have known women like her all my life, and I have lived through the years this family lived through,\u201d Kieu Chinh tells <em>Variety<\/em>. \u201cI did not need to imagine her. To give voice to a Vietnamese grandmother in a Vietnamese story felt like something I was meant to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAccording to the film\u2019s producers, \u201cChrysalis\u201d marks the first time the Vietnamese government has granted an American production permission to film a wartime narrative on location in the country, a distinction that shadows nearly every other claim made about the project. Shooting took place across Ho Chi Minh City and Orange County and Los Angeles, California, in April 2025, with the bulk of the wartime sequences captured on Vietnamese soil rather than recreated on a studio backlot abroad. Pre-production ran from January to April 2025, with post-production stretching from May 2025 through March 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe cast surrounding Kieu Chinh draws heavily from Vietnam\u2019s own industry. Nguyen Vu Uy Nhan, known for \u201cTiem An Cua Quy\u201d and \u201cFly 2023,\u201d plays child Daniel, while Le Anh Huy, of \u201cKieu\u201d and the TV series \u201cLuoi Troi,\u201d plays a young adult version of the character reunited with his grandmother after more than a decade apart, a reunion the film\u2019s character notes describe as devastating in its brevity: Ba Noi dies shortly after the two are reconciled, and the young adult Daniel is too consumed by denial to attend her funeral. Samuel An, who has appeared in \u201cThien Than Ho Menh\u201d and \u201cEm Va Trinh,\u201d plays Daniel\u2019s father, an interpreter who worked between the American and South Vietnamese militaries before later taking a position with the U.S. embassy, the job that ultimately allows him to bring his family, including Child Daniel, out of the country at the end of the war. Winn himself appears in the present-day timeline as the adult artist.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBehind the camera, the production paired Vietnam-based and U.S.-based producing teams. Tien Pham of Legend Artist Entertainment, whose credits include \u201cThe Sympathizer\u201d and \u201cNCIS-LA,\u201d and Dang Thu Hien, a former Vietnam marketing director for Universal Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Walt Disney Studios, Marvel, 20th Century Studios and CJ E&amp;M, serve as producer and co-producer, respectively, alongside David Hopwood of Group of Ferrets, whose credits include \u201cDen of Thieves\u201d and the Golden Globe-nominated \u201cCAKE.\u201d Steve Longi of Longitude Entertainment, whose credits include the Academy Award-winning \u201cHacksaw Ridge,\u201d also produces. Winn and Slavin produce through their banner WS Productions, the entity behind Winn Slavin Fine Art, with prior film credits including \u201cCreation\u201d and \u201cEctropy.\u201d The score comes from Czech-born composer Elia Cmiral, whose film credits include \u201cRonin,\u201d \u201cStigmata\u201d and \u201cWrong Turn,\u201d and who also scored the video game \u201cSpec Ops: The Line\u201d and the television series \u201cNash Bridges.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cThe cooperative nature of its production, uniting talent from multiple continents, is an example of the collaboration and acceptance that is so needed in the world today,\u201d Slavin tells <em>Variety<\/em>. \u201cIt speaks to vital issues regarding refugee displacement, immigration, and personal resilience. The film features talented cast members from four countries and employed highly skilled crew members from both Vietnam and the U.S. We are honored to be included in the 4th Danang Asian Film Festival and hope that \u2018Chrysalis\u2019 will stand as a template for future international co-productions between Vietnam and the global film community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationobserver.com\/?p=3287\">Immersive \u2018Peaky Blinders\u2019 Underworld Experience Coming to London This Summer<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe VFDA\u2019s president and DANAFF\u2019s founding director, Dr. Ngo Phuong Lan, echoed that framing in a statement. \u201c\u2018Chrysalis\u2019 stands out as a notable example of collaboration between international filmmakers and Vietnam\u2019s talented actors, creative professionals, and production teams,\u201d she said. \u201cThe film\u2019s selection for the competition program at DANAFF IV reflects the growing momentum of cross-border film productions across Asia and around the world.\u201d She added that the VFDA hopes Vietnam will keep building its reputation with American and international filmmakers \u201cnot only because of its diverse landscapes and increasingly skilled film workforce, but also because of its welcoming collaborative environment and rich creative potential for telling cinematic stories with global resonance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cVietnam isn\u2019t just the backdrop of \u2018Chrysalis.\u2019 It\u2019s woven into every part of it, the people, the culture, the landscapes, the memories,\u201d Schulz tells <em>Variety<\/em>. \u201cAs an outsider, I never wanted to impose my perspective on that. I wanted to listen, learn, and work alongside the incredible Vietnamese cast and crew who helped bring the story to life. Their insight and craftsmanship gave the film a level of authenticity that simply couldn\u2019t have been recreated anywhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cAwards and recognition are wonderful, but what means the most to me is seeing \u2018Chrysalis\u2019 embraced and become part of a larger conversation about family, identity, and search for home between two worlds,\u201d he adds. \u201cTo be included at DANAFF is a tremendous honor, and I\u2019m grateful for the opportunity to bring the film back to the country that inspired it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWinn, who serves as both the film\u2019s subject and an executive producer, wrote separately about the film\u2019s origins in an artist\u2019s statement. \u201cThe pain demanded more,\u201d he wrote. \u201cSomething beyond an item on a wall to be contemplated in silence. Something that clutched the soul and refused to release. That is why I made \u2018Chrysalis.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cI left Vietnam as a child. I carried that departure with me for decades,\u201d Winn tells <em>Variety<\/em>. \u201cAnd now to return with this film, to have Vietnam embrace it, feels like a completion I did not know I was searching for. It is the chrysalis finally opening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201c\u2018Chrysalis\u2019 is not a film about an artist,\u201d Winn adds. \u201cIt is a film about all of us, the human condition, the human emotion, the adversity we all carry and the ways we find to overcome it. Without pain, we would not understand what happiness is. Without dark, there is no understanding what light is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cChrysalis\u201d arrives in Danang having already traveled through several other rooms this year. The film made its market debut at the 2026 Cannes Film Market with two market screenings, where Winn, Slavin, Schulz and Kieu Chinh walked the Cannes red carpet together, and it picked up a handful of honors on the festival and summit circuit, including a best actress recognition for Kieu Chinh and a best director nod for Schulz from the I Success International Awards, along with a best autobiographical work prize for Winn at the Global Traveler Awards. Schulz also won best director at the Munich Film Awards in 2025 for the project, as well as best experimental film prizes from the LA Indie Shorts Awards and the Experimental, Dance &amp; Music Film Festival.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe film\u2019s chronology stretches well beyond its DANAFF stop: after Cannes in May and Danang in June, \u201cChrysalis\u201d is scheduled to screen in Ho Chi Minh City in September, followed by a stop in Beverly Hills in October ahead of a planned worldwide release in November.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cI hope they feel their story is being told with love and with truth,\u201d Kieu Chinh says. \u201c\u2018Chrysalis\u2019 is about a Vietnamese family and a Vietnamese heart. I want our audiences at home to feel seen, and to feel proud. And to know that no matter how far life carries any of us, the love for Vietnam is always in our heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationobserver.com\/?p=3285\">\u2018Trainspotting\u2019 Marks 30th Anniversary at Edinburgh Film Festival With Cast Reunion \u2013 Global Bulletin<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kieu Chinh stars in &#8216;Chrysalis,&#8217; Daniel K.
