Day 2 of our High School Screenings at The American French Film Festival 🌊
600 high school students joined us again for the screening of IN WAVES, followed by a Q&A with director Phuong Mai Nguyen and producer Priscilla Bertin.
IN WAVES is a story about first love, about the ocean, and about holding on to someone even as you learn to let them go. Adapted from AJ Dungo’s graphic novel, it carries grief with a gentleness that left the room quiet, and then full of questions.
A successful second morning at #TAFFF30!

Day 1 of our High School Screenings at The American French Film Festival 🌊
This morning, 600 high school students joined us for In Waves, followed by a Q&A with director Mai and producer Priscilla Bertin, then photos and a signing session.
In Waves is a story about first love, about the ocean, and about holding on to someone even as you learn to let them go. Adapted from AJ Dungo’s graphic novel, it carries grief with a gentleness that left the room quiet, and then full of questions. Watching hundreds of teenagers lean in to exchange with Mai and Priscilla reminded us why we do this.
A magical first morning at #TAFFF30 with a magical film. Thank you, Mai, Priscilla and AJ, for sharing IN WAVES with the students. 💙
