About the Director：

Luo Luo (full name: Luo Ziyue) was born in 1962 in Miyi County, Sichuan Province, where she has lived ever since. Like most women of her generation, she married, had children, worked, raised her family, cared for her parents, and eventually retired.

In 2019, she joined the Caochangdi Workstation, where she began learning filming and editing. In 2021, she made her first film, "Luo Luo's Fear", followed by her second work, "Luo Luo's Youth", in 2022. Both films were selected for the "Asian New Waves" section of the Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival in Japan. "Luo Luo's Future" is her third film.
