"Love is always in style."
From: NewNowNext
A new film that should be on your radar is Front Cover, directed by Raymond Yeung.
The movie tells the story of Ryan (Jake Choi), a gay fashion stylist living in New York who is forced to examine his life and his relationship to his family after he becomes unlikely friends with a Ning, famous-and closeted-Chinese Actor played by James Chen. To complicate things even more, a gossip rag runs an intimate picture of Ryan and Ning together-outing Ning to the world.
The film looks like a 21st century version of The Wedding Banquet, another story where sexuality and traditional Asian values have a head-on collision resulting in confusion and comedy.
If you are in L.A. you can catch a screening of Front Cover on Thursday, July 14 as part of the Outfest film festival.
