💖影片簡介 |
凡妮莎是家人朋友眼中的救火隊，大至離婚失戀、小至送禮接機，她絕對使命必達。事業人緣兩得意的她，直到三十幾歲終於遇到完美情人偉恩，並迅速陷入熱戀。此時，任性逃婚的弟弟、面臨感情危機的姊姊、不適應退休生活的老爸及好管閒事的老媽紛紛冒出來攪局，嚇得偉恩不知所措，凡妮莎該如何解決問題，搶救自己的愛情呢？

◆導演 | #潘貝思（BERTHA BAY-SA PAN）
◆演員 | #胡凱麗 ／ #陳婷 ／ #陳冠希

◆導演簡介 |
美籍華裔導演，首部電影【FACE】「白靈之面子」，由中國知名女星 #白靈 及 嘻哈巨星Treach (Naughty by Nature)領銜主演，電影配樂由獲多項葛萊美獎的嘻哈樂團The Roots擔任，在獨立製片聖地「日舞影展」初試啼聲就一鳴驚人，橫掃大大小小獨立影展，得到最佳導演、最佳觀眾票選等眾多大獎。

《紐約時報》給予這樣的影評：「看完【FACE】後會久久印在腦海裡。導演潘貝思對於角色細節和現場的用心，創造出一種細緻的召喚力，這在紐約的劇情片中是極少見的。」

【30拉緊抱】是潘貝思自編自導的作品，故事內容以討論在美的華裔家庭的愛情故事，由於題材特殊，2011在三藩市亞裔影展首映，場場爆滿，並獲綜藝週刊及舊金山日報的好評。
