| One night during
our ten weeks of editing, I went out to Tigerheat, an 18+ gay club,
with some friends. Sometimes you begin to lose objectivity when you’re
with a project too long. I needed a break that night. I bumped into
a friend, a 19-year-old gay Chinese American boy, whose shy demeanor
made me suddenly realize whom I was making this movie for. I remembered
what it was like being a teenager, a gay teenager, a gay Asian teenager,
and a gay Asian teenager in America. I looked around the club and
saw teenagers and young adults who were young, who were beautiful,
who were awkward, who were afraid, and who nonetheless tried their
best to be who they were in a less than perfect world. |

| That night, I
realized that subconsciously I was making a movie for them. And with
some luck, I hope this movie will reach them, empower and entertain
them and all of us. |
