Emily Chu (award-winner Michelle Ang) is a young ‘banana’ (yellow on the outside, white on the inside) hoping to conceal a cross-cultural romance from her prudish Chinese parents in this romantic dramedy. Director Roseanne Liang’s feature debut draws on her autobiographical ‘video diary’ Banana in a Nutshell, which screened at the 2005 NZ International Film Festival. In the audience was producer John Barnett, who immediately offered to fund an adaptation. On its March 2010 release My Wedding gained several five star reviews, and strong box office.
t's possible that My Wedding and Other Secrets is the sweetest little New Zealand movie ever ... from its opening moments, it was impossible not to be aware that I was watching a fresh, gorgeously filmed, totally engaging charmer.– Writer Linda Burgess in The Dominion Post, 21 March 2011
Made with funding from the NZ Film Commission, in association with NZ On Air
