Lu's breakout feature film is stunning, gorgeously shot, and extremely ambitious for an independent film. The film follows Sylvia on a road trip through the south with a charming, sexy, and slightly dangerous stranger she meets one night before the wedding of an old friend. The reveal at the end makes the movie that much more powerful. The acting is fantastic in the film and it is perfectly cast. The directing and editing really shape gorgeous moments between the two leads. I was taken aback by the locations of the movie and how well they are captured. As we take this journey with Sylvia, our choices for our future, like hers, become more and more apparent.

"There Is A New World Somewhere" tells the story of two strangers who have arrived at a crossroads in their lives. Their desperate need to lose themselves in each other drew me in and before I know it, I was right there with them, traveling alongside them on a spontaneous road trip of desire. This is a lyrical film that unfolds with beauty, eroticism and an authentic immersion into the human condition. No hype here. This is a sincere inquiry into two people's desperate desire to escape into each other only to discover that... Well, I won't tell you. But what I will say is that you'll be treated to performances that are spot on, music that is hypnotic, stunning cinematography and a lovely story that you'll be able to relate to. This is road trip you don't want to miss.

Li Lu's beautiful independent film boldly explores a young woman's reckless reaction to the panic of her late twenties. The struggle is real and Lu skillfully, and without judgement, shows how the desperate need to achieve some level of relationship and career success can force you to make decisions you wouldn't otherwise consider. This is not your typical independent film. The characters and motivations depicted are honest and the relationships are filled with the manic highs and lows of new love. Lu has the courage to deftly use quiet moments that allow the audience to focus on the story, stunning imagery and beautifully composed music.
