How Sean Wang Made Dìdi (弟弟) with a Little Inspiration from Greta Gerwig

Academy Award-nominee Sean Wang came by the Vulture Spot at Sundance to talk about his new coming-of-age film Dìdi (弟弟).  Based on his own youth growing up in Fremont, California, the director credits Greta Gerwig's ethos in making 'Lady Bird' with helping him craft a fictional narrative inspired by fact.
