Thank you @goldenhorsefilmfestival. What a week! Couldn’t think of a better way to close out the @luckylufilm festival tour for 2025. Truly grateful to all the festival programmers and crews who screened our film and took care of us this year. I flew to Taipei last August to meet Chang Chen. Three months later he’s on set in NYC, and three months after wrap, we’re premiering in Cannes. A year and three months since that first meeting, I’m back in Taipei buzzing as he accepts his award for Best Lead Actor. Teared up as @charleshumenry walked up for Best Original Score and found myself hugging Ang Lee for Best New Director. Will miss traveling with @nybongiovi @teezy319 @norm_li and the rest of the LL fam. A whirlwind year… Looking forward to sharing Lucky Lu with everyone in 2026 🚲 by @lloydleechoi

Lucky Lu is slowly rolling out in theaters in 2026. First up is France, opening TODAY! It’s retitled “Les Lumière de New York” for just France. Friends over there, go see our film on the big screen in beautiful 16mm @kodak_shootfilm 🫶 For the entire @luckylufilm production, we were running away from constant bad weather (that would ruin continuity). On the last day of filming, we moved up call time to 4am to sneak in as much shooting time as possible before a giant afternoon snowstorm. We kept shooting and shooting, and the snow kept delaying, hour by hour. And we snuck in a full day, getting all our final shots. Minutes after we called wrap, snowflakes started falling. This video was a couple hours later, a magical moment of this beautiful city saying “you’re done now”. A surreal 2025 memory, among many others. taken in New York, New York by @lloydleechoi

Lloyd Lee Choi's LUCKY LU follows the journey of Lu, a food delivery driver whose bike is stolen hours before his family arrives in the U.S. The film beautifully depicts the struggles and hopes of immigrants in the U.S., and explores sacrifice, survival, and immigrant resilience. His first feature film, Choi created this work as an expansion of his own family’s history of emigrating from Korea to Canada. LUCKY LU premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, and is based on Choi's 2022 short SAME OLD, which premiered at Cannes and New York Film Festival and won honors at Toronto International Film Festival and Raindance. Presented by the Vilcek Foundation, LUCKY LU will premiere at @hiffhawaii as part of the Vilcek Foundation supported #NewAmericanPerspectives program, which spotlights immigrant filmmakers. Catch LUCKY LU at HIFF on Sunday, October 19th followed by a Q&A with Choi, and for an encore screening on Monday, October 20th. 🎟️ Visit the link in the bio to read more about Choi! 📸 Image 1: Still from LUCKY LU; Image 2: Headshot courtesy of Anna Stewart by @lloydleechoi

Congratulations to @lloydleechoi and the cast and crew of #LuckyLu on their world premiere at @festivaldecannes—and their 10 minute standing ovation! 🎉 Starring Chang Chen, Carabelle Manna, and @falachenfala, and produced by @destindaniel, @nybongiovi, @teezy319 the film tells the story of a Chinese delivery driver in New York City who discovers his e-bike has been stolen. With his family en route after many years apart, Lu must contend with a community that has turned its back on him while he tries to replace the only thing promising to keep his family afloat. We are so proud to witness Lloyd, one of our first Film Fellowship recipients, grow in his craft and share his vision with the world. We can't wait to see what happens next! by @lloydleechoi
