A daughter's letter to her mother, imagining meeting her when they were both twenty. Johans Saldana Guadalupe and Katie Luo each wrote a letter to their own mother and merged the two into one, a story of unconditional love and gratitude. It was made for Runway's Gen:48 contest but missed the deadline after a time-zone mix-up. TechCrunch called it a tearjerker. A Merit winner at [Runway's second AI Film Festival](https://aifilmhistory.org/entry/aiff-2024).
