yellow balloon film
Yellow Balloon is a short film directed by Summer Luu and co-written with Olyvia Chac-Nguyen. The story follows Ái Vân, a 6-year-old Vietnamese-American child adopted by their immigrant grandparents, as they navigate the complexities of identity, belonging, and letting go.
As the Finishing Editor, I worked closely with the director to shape the emotional rhythm of the film — refining pacing, smoothing continuity, and helping lock the final cut. Getting to work on Yellow Balloon still doesn’t feel real. When Summer first reached out, I genuinely thought it was a scam — which only speaks to how rare and special this kind of project and crew is. Never in a million years did I think I’d get to work with a Vietnamese-American team on something this meaningful.<3
Yellow Balloon is currently screening at multiple film festivals, including Diversity in Cannes Short Film, the Houston AAPI Film Festival, with more to come.

The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) celebrates its 50th year, marking a significant milestone for this historic program.
