Tigertail, Yang emphasized, is highly fictionalized—but aspects of its emotional core mirror real questions about the cost of achieving the American dream. While working on another project in Shanghai, he called up his dad; they met in Taiwan, where Yang hadn’t been since he was seven. “The talent has always been there, they’ve just not had the opportunity to show the world how wonderful they are.”, Follow AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr on Twitter: www.twitter.com/ldbahr, 24/7 coverage of breaking news and live events.

Yang makes his feature directorial debut with "Tigertail," on Netflix Friday, which is loosely based on his father's immigration story.

He’s had prostate cancer, and that’s fortunately a slow-moving cancer—but we know that we have a finite time here,” Yang said. The movie was a go.

His brother was an architect in Hong Kong before their family immigrated to the United States, where his degree wasn’t recognized. “It’s an art house-inflected movie that’s almost entirely in Mandarin and Taiwanese and it features no Marvel stars,” Yang said with a laugh about its marketability.
