Korean-American director Andrew Ahn (do you remember Dol?) is crowdfunding for a new film about a Korean-American teenager who discovers an 'underground culture of gay sex' at his new workplace: a Korean spa.
Oh, and thanks to two friends (one was Tumblr-famous Seoul Sizzle) for linking me to the KoreaAm article that led me to finding this awesome project.
While there are saunas meant for gay sex in Korea, I didn't know that the same thing was happening at jjimjilbangs in California. Ahn's original discovery of a gay scene in Korean spas made him have to deal with the confluence of his Korean and gay identity, and I am really excited to see how he weaves this narrative into a feature length film. To read more about the film and to fund the project, head over to Kickstarter.
