HOME / PRODUCTION HISTORY / Walleye Kid
A modern American Fable inspired by Korean and Japanese folktales. A Korean girl miraculously appears as a baby out of a huge walleye, is adopted by the couple that caught the fish and takes a magical journey back to the land of her birth.
“We gave Annie the ability to use her imagination to look for her own identity as a Korean adoptee. Her magical trip to Korean is in some ways influenced by my own jourey back to Korean last year.” — Sundraya Kase
