Meet the Spring Short Film Fund Winner View in browser Our Grand Prize Winner for the 2025 Spring Season Short Film Fund is PAPER DAUGHTER, written and directed by Cameron Kwan. A gothic, stop motion animated Chinese-American fairytale, PAPER DAUGHTER chronicles a young woman grappling with the guilt of using the identity of a deceased girl to immigrate to the United States via Angel Island in 1926.  Partially based on her grandmother's experiences when she immigrated to the U.S. one hundred years ago, PAPER DAUGHTER is Cameron's attempt to memorialize her and her experiences.
