My friend Andrew Ahn is showing a film at Sundance, which is no small feat. His story behind its making is very heart wrenching and definitely worth reading/sharing. The trailer can be found here and a small quote is below.
I wrote and directed a short film about a gay Korean-American man who goes to his baby nephew’s dol, a traditional Korean first birthday celebration. For the dol scene, I needed a Korean family — the baby, the grandparents, aunts, and uncles. For various reasons, I cast my family. I was not out to my parents at the time. They did not know that the film they acted in is about a gay man.
I made this film to come out to my parents.
