Usually when it comes to gay independent films, I'm often baffled at the fact that I don't get to see or hear anough about the ones starring people of color. I mean sure we have an occasional film that comes from Patrik Ian-Polk and a few eeb shows that grace the internet, but there are times when I would like to see films from the POV of gays in the Latino, Asian or even the Arab community.
Well director Quentin Lee wil lscreen his new film White Frog at LA's annual LGBT film festival, OutFest. White Frog is about a high school freshman, Nick Young, struggling with Asperger’s Syndrome who idolizes his perfect older brother Chaz. When Chaz dies, his seemingly perfect family unravels. Nick’s friends attend the funeral and help him get through his loss. After his death, Nick’s family find out Chaz was gay and pursued interests his parents didn’t know about.
Chaz is played by Glee actor Harry Shum Jr. who plays the very cute dancer Mike Chang. As for the rest of the cast, it includes plenty of young Hollywood eye candy like BooBoo Stewart (Twilight), Tyler Posey (Teen Wolf), Manish Dayal (90210) and Gregg Sulkin (Wizards of Waverly Place). Playing Chaz's parents are out actor BD Wong (Law & Order: SVU) and Joan Chen (Judge Dredd, The Last Emperor). Kelly Hu (The Scorpion King, X2) and Amy Hill (That’s So Raven) also stars.
The movie looks pretty good and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing this should (fingers crossed) the movie pick up a distributor. I also look forward to letting my followers know more about any films coming out featuring gay stories of ethnic descent.
