Streaming video - 2023
In this poignant comedy, Donya (Anaita Wali Zada), a former Afghan translator for the U.S. government, lives alone in Fremont, California. Working at a Chinese fortune cookie factory and struggling with insomnia, Donya moves through her days in solitude. One day, her loneliness and longing drive her to slip a personal message into a cookie, which sparks a hopeful shift in her routine.Directed by Babak Jalali (Radio Days), Fremont blends deadpan humor with poetic restraint, offering a gentle, bittersweet meditation on loneliness, dislocation, and the quiet desire for connection. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for Best Feature at the Independent Spirit Awards.
