"Bunnylovr, which hit theaters April 10, 2026 via Utopia, is the kind of film that stays with you in the same slow, creeping way its protagonist Rebecca drifts through her own life."
"The autonomy you have over your own creative life as a director and a writer is so amazing. I had never booked anything, so being able to give myself this role and take control over my career in that way was my favorite part of doing all three."
"Zhu lived with the script alone for about two to three years before she let anyone else read it. I think I was scared to make the jump from shorts to features, she admits. It felt really daunting."
Katarina Zhu premiered her debut feature Bunnylovr at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, following a year of festival tours. The film, released in theaters on April 10, 2026, tells the story of a Chinese-American cam girl dealing with a toxic relationship and reconnecting with her estranged father. Zhu took on multiple roles in the film to gain creative control, supported by a trusted team. She spent two to three years developing the script before sharing it, feeling apprehensive about transitioning from shorts to features.
