“Sino Philes” is a mockumentary microfilm web series and short film about Hong Kong and Mainland social conflicts. In an attempt to reconnect with their roots, a Chinese Canadian couple relocates to Hong Kong, China, and consequently becomes entangled in bizarre social conflicts between Hongkongers and Mainlanders that ultimately lead them to discover what it means to be "Chinese" and what the "Chinese dream" means to them. http://sinophiles.slatetakes.com/

When Audrey's business trip to Asia goes sideways, she enlists the aid of Lolo, her irreverent, childhood best friend who also happens to be a hot mess; Kat, her college friend turned Chinese soap star; and Deadeye, Lolo's eccentric cousin. Their no-holds-barred, epic experience becomes a journey of bonding, friendship, belonging, and wild debauchery that reveals the universal truth of what it means to know and love who you are.

Through a series of flashbacks, four Chinese women born in America and their respective mothers born in feudal China explore their pasts.
