Alice Wu’s journey has come to a climax. The Chinese-American and openly lesbian writer/director scored notice for her feature debut Saving Face back in 2004.
The story dealt with a Chinese-American lesbian coping with the cultural pressures of her family, her career as a surgeon and her attraction to a beautiful, young woman.
The film went on to play the Toronto and Sundance Film Festivals, where it earned positive reaction from critics and audiences.
