“Sunday” By Sean Wang

Burdened by an expired visa, a young couple spend what could be their last night together. What feels like a normal night in New York City with their friend eating pizza, ice cream, and taking the subway quickly lead to questions that are left hanging and point towards deeper emotions at play.

The idea for Sunday initially came from observing the relationships around me. For those in relationships with non-US citizens, the reality of an expired visa was a catalyst for complicated conversations and difficult decisions. It was a highly emotional situation and shared experience for many people in my life—and then it happened to me.

At its core, Sunday is a story about two people caught at a crossroads, where the seams of their relationship are being frayed by elements outside of their control. With this film, I hoped to capture the feeling of uncertainty and quiet heartache in a way that feels honest and personal to my lived experience, set against the backdrop of one of the most romantic and melancholy cities in the world – New York City.
