Episode 10: Eating Takeout (ft. Julie Zhu of Takeout Kids)
Description
In this episode, we talk to Julie Zhu, the director and creator of beautifully observed documentary series Takeout Kids. In season two, she invites us into the world of tamariki and rangatahi who grow up in their parents' shops, whether that's restaurants, dairies or even a nail salon, following them and their whānau as they go to school, work night markets, and have both funny and serious conversations with family.
Julie talks about the filming process, her approach to narrative storytelling, and the intimacy of everyday moments.
In addition, Sam and Jean kōrero about takeaways and their favourite Friday-night feeds -- especially as Sam used to be a takeout kid himself!
