Here is the New Jersey Film Festival Fall 2023 #LookAtMe Filmmaker Q+A with #LookAtMe Lead Actor yao, Festival Assistant Director Katie Scrivani and Festival Director Al Nigrin.
#LookAtMe – Ken Kwek (Singapore) When teenagers Sean and Ricky are invited to attend church with Sean’s girlfriend, they are treated to an Evangelical rock concert capped by a searing anti-LGBTQ sermon. Sean, a Youtuber, soon gets into trouble for dropping an outrageous video lampooning the megachurch’s pastor. He is widely condemned and prosecuted for flouting Singapore’s strict laws on public expression. As Sean descends into near-madness in prison, his gay twin brother, Ricky, gains prominence as a LGBTQ activist. Both find themselves at the heart of a culture war that spills out from social media into the real world. In English and Malay, subtitled. 2022; 108 min.
#LookAtMe will be playing at the Fall 2023 New Jersey Film Festival on Sunday, October 1 – Online for 24 Hours and In-person at 5PM in Voorhees Hall #105/Rutgers University, 71 Hamilton Street, New Brunswick, NJ. For more info and tickets go here.
