'Mushroom Dad' Explores Family, Love, and Unexpected Connections
A new film about family connections and unexpected moments is set to stream on Hulu this November. Mushroom Dad, written and directed by Michael Yuen Chen, explores personal storytelling and family dynamics through a unique and touching story.
The film centers on a young chef who must care for his Chinese-immigrant father, who has accidentally ingested psychedelic mushrooms, on the night of his restaurant’s grand opening.
What begins as an absurd situation evolves into a “tender, chaotic portrait of generational friction, love, and the disarming ways family shows up when it matters most.
