Jam spoke about his wish that gay Asian Amerins would see e away om this film wh the unrstandg that though may be difficult for their parents to exprs their emotns, that their love for their children is always there.
The film’s hallmark li the fact that every person signifintly volved wh s productn has repeatedly profsed their sire to challenge the prevailg notns on race and sexualy and portray gay Asian men as fully realized characters wh their own urage and flaws.
