An Essential Delivery (2022)

Shortly after the start of stay-at-home orders in New York City due to the Covid-19 pandemic, a young Asian American woman named Gia is laid off from her office job. Concealing this news from her family, Gia takes on food delivery gigs to make ends meet before her upcoming rent payment. Trying to find a sense of security in extremely volatile times, Gia is overwhelmed with the challenges before her; mounting bills, a physically demanding job with no access to a car, and the fear of rising hostility towards Asian Americans like herself. But Gia also discovers unexpected kindness, solidarity, and hope in community, from old friends and strangers.
