Hear, Eat, Home.
A documentary film by Hsuan Yu Pan
A journey through sound, memory, and gathering—dedicated to those rebuilding home and finding freedom.
The Story
This film follows diaspora musicians and artists in New York as they rebuild their sense of home through music, food, and friendship.
Over the past ten years, I have documented their journey—capturing not just how we survive, but how we hold on to dignity, joy, and belonging when everything else is in motion.
The Vision
This film is a roadmap to collective healing, showing how creative gathering and mutual care can restore a community's spirit. We invite you to step in as a co-creator and help us bring this story into the world.
