Part 1 

Part 2 

A wonderful, quiet, queer little film that really had no business existing in 2004, but it somehow got made anyway and we are all the better for it. <3

As to how it got made, here's the info from Wikipedia: As a first-time director and writer, Wu faced many challenges in maintaining her vision of the film. Studios that saw potential in her script wanted to make it like My Big Fat Greek Wedding.[5] She was asked to make the characters white so that they could cast Reese Witherspoon as Wil and Ellen Burstyn as her mother. The studio then tried to compromise and asked to make the love interest white so that a star like Scarlett Johansson could bring more attention to the film. Despite further proposals for script changes, Wu maintained that the Mandarin dialogue, lesbian romance, and her involvement as both writer and director were non-negotiable.[3]

I am SO happy that you enjoyed Saving Face! I missed the live due to birthday celebrations but I watched your reaction after all the Christmas day events and just adored sharing it with you.

I remember being a queer teen and finding this in the library DVD collection, being white in a mid sized Canadian town Saving Face means a lot to me personally to see not only a queer love story but also a queer POC story, as up until that point I had only ever seen white love stories,
