The US premiere of Chrysalis, presented by the Beverly Hills Film Festival in April 2027, will coincide with the 52nd anniversary of the end of the war in Vietnam. It will introduce the film’s story of family, displacement and remembrance to U.S. audiences while building on its Vietnam response.

“Chrysalis” made its market debut at the 2026 Marché du Film in Cannes, where it held two market screenings. At DANAFF IV, Kieu Chinh received the Screen Excellence Merit Award for her screen career spanning nearly seven decades and more than 100 roles.

At the Los Angeles Tribune International Film Festival, the film received five honors: Best Feature Film; Best Director for J. Robert Schulz; Best Actress for Kieu Chinh; Best Child Actor for nine-year-old Vietnamese actor Uy Nhan; and Best Orchestral Score for Motion Picture for “Chrysalis,” composed by Elia Cmiral. At nine, Uy Nhan became LATIFF’s inaugural Best Child Actor and one of the youngest documented Vietnamese recipients of a U.S. film-festival acting award. @thekieuchinh @sirdanielwinn @tienphammusic @chrysalismovie2026 by @jrobertschulz

A large part of making Chrysalis work was creating an environment that could hold up to scrutiny.

Our village set required an enormous amount of coordination from the Production Design and Art Departments, along with the carpenters, painters, scenic artists and craftspeople responsible for physically building that world.

The objective was simple: when the actors entered the space, there should be nothing left to imagine.

What you see on screen is the result of hundreds, if not thousands, of decisions made long before the camera rolled.

This is the first of several posts highlighting the crew behind Chrysalis.

Thank you Production and Art Design teams for building the world we were able to photograph.

A farewell that lasted a lifetime.

A story of family, memory, and the home we carry with us long after we’ve left it behind.

Something new is taking shape. Built around a pretty simple idea: make things people actually want to watch, and care about how they’re made. by @jrobertschulz

Chrysalis is officially in competition at DANAFF IV — and @variety has the exclusive.

Kieu Chinh returns to Vietnam for the first time in competition with Sir Daniel K. Winn's adaptation of his memoir.

"The pain demanded more. Something beyond an item on a wall to be contemplated in silence. That is why I made 'Chrysalis.'" — Sir Daniel K. Winn
