Description

The fierce, fabulous Joo Si arrives in Los Angeles with a single goal to be a dancer. He auditions for the opportunity of a lifetime, to be a principal backup dancer for a sexy female pop sensation. As the tale unfolds, so does his struggle with masculinity and with society’s expectations of him as a flamboyant, feminine—and overweight—male dancer.

    Welcome to the Queer Convergence! Sit back and enjoy this rollercoaster ride of awkwardness, self-discovery, reflection and humor.

  2. WRENCH IN THE WORKS

    Shorts / 92 mins
    This one is for the eager beggar. The regretful thug. The plus-sized backup dancer, and the refugee brimming with heart. Take a second glance, for you have met them before. This program follows the stories of envelope pushing outcasts: the deviants, outsiders and iconoclasts who force us to question one another and ourselves. - Curated by Elizabeth Cabrera, Kyle Casey Chu

    In This Program: Anti-versary, Banzai Rising, Born to Dance this Way, Dawn, Footsteps, Little Mao, Shaya
