"It was so touching, beautiful, and just really really good. So many emotions ❤ 😭 I know LSD is your and Danny's family's stories, but I felt so visibilized by their telling and related them so much too. Strangely, I feel lighter and freer after watching. Thank you thank you and huge bravo <3 "

"A refreshingly balanced doc between narrative arc and intimate-portrait storytelling. A thought-provoking film that is not afraid to question the circumstances of its own creation."
Naren, Philadelphia resident

"Thank you for making this film and sharing your and Danny’s story. It was so moving to me personally and is challenging me to think about my experience. It also made me feel proud to be Korean American. Maybe for the first time ever in my life, which means a lot at 44 years old. Thanks again and I wish you a long career in filmmaking and changing lives."
Suzi, Community Organizer from Philadelphia
