Bunnylovr

The white fluffy rabbit is a gift from one of Rebecca’s fans, a cam girl whose night sessions help her make ends meet. Besides that, she works part-time as an office employee and still visits her ex. The woman in her twenties seems more like an observer of her own life than a participant, living it mainly from the perspective of her bed. She is pulled out of this lethargy by a relationship with a mysterious client (Austin Amelio) and an unexpected reconnection with her father (Perry Yung) in New York’s Chinatown. Bunnylovr, shot with shallow focus and tight close-ups, isolates the protagonist from the outside world, sketching a portrait of emotional hunger and an inner crisis of a young adult. In her feature debut, Katarina Zhu is not only the director and screenwriter but also the lead actress, giving Rebecca’s character a sense of longing and melancholy. Her friend is played by Rachel Sennott (familiar from Shiva Baby, 11th AFF), who is also one of the film’s producers.
