Tale of the Lost Boys

GagaOOLala Originals include the international co-production between Taiwan and the Philippines Tale of the Lost Boys (Joselito Altarejos, 2016). The film narrates the friendship between two men as they embark on a journey towards self-discovery. It was screened in some of the most important queer film festival around the world and recently won the Best Picture, Best Editing, Best Screenplay and the Box Office Awards at the Sinag Maynila Film Festival. GagaOOLala’s second original venture, Sodom’s Cat (Huang Ting-Chun, 2016), revolutionized the Asian queer film circuit through its exploration of gay hook up culture and with some of the most explicit images in Asian queer cinema. The film was shortlisted for the Iris Prize Award, the most prestigious LGBT short award in the world. More recently, the platform’s first original series, Queer Taiwan (Gan Li Ling, 2018), has already become a timely document in the history of LGBT rights in Asia. The series recorded the Same-Sex Marriage legalization process that Taiwan experienced last year, as well as other phenomena related to Taiwanese LGBT culture. A second season is already in the works, this time the focus will be in other Asian territories (Hong Kong, Japan, Philippines and Vietnam) and explore the cultural and historical background of the different LGBT communities. It will be released at the end of this year.
