See Me

See Me (Steven Liang, USA, 2006, 8 min)
A coming out story of a Chinese American high school senior written for his traditional immigrant parents. Told by 17 year old Steven Liang, this piece depicts his life from middle school, struggling with his sexuality and identity, to his current life as a self-accepting LGBT activist. In real life, Steven hasn't actually shown this video to his parents, but he hopes that it can be used as a tool of LGBT youth empowerment.
