I still can’t believe it’s screening at The Nigah QueerFest this Saturday. The documentary has been traveling to different parts of the world in the past year, but I haven’t been able to attend any of the screenings, with the exception of San Francisco, because they were all [...]

Was a little nervous that there would be a low turnout because the festival committee had slotted my documentary mid-day, mid-week. Bahhhh, I [...]
Just realized that I haven’t updated this site in ages. A lot has happened since the last post, which was written in Kuala Lumpur a month after the premier of “Pecah Lobang” in Malaysia.

I couldn’t make it for the “Pecah Lobang” screening in Johor Bahru.
Friends from Komas said there was a heated discussion after.
Here’s an excerpt from a post on Yawning Bread about how the audience at the Freedom Film Fest responded to the LGBT films, including “Pecah Lobang”:

This is by far the most entertaining, enjoyable interview.
Penangite John Ong runs OnglinePodcast.com out of Kansas City. He kept me cracking up throughout the 45-minute interview.
We talked about “Pecah Lobang,” Mak Nyahs, apums, Penang-lang, visa issues and coming home.
