For this documentary I wanted to explore the depth of my connection with my mother and my grandmother when making different foods that have been through all of our lives. I wanted to explore the intricacies of the recipes, how we all learned them, where they came from, and how they bring us together, especially in a time where we’re coming together for Thanksgiving, where we usually just cook our favorite foods together and eat together as well.

I wanted to explore the depths of what this connection means within my culture for my family and for my family, emphasizing on the women in my family that I’ve learned these things from. I also aimed to explore the foods as well, the way they’re made and how we all come together from these foods that we’ve all been so familiar with our whole lives.

I wanted to explore our relationship as well as their individual experiences learning about these foods, passing them on, and the way they’re made.
