It doesn't surprise me that people would classify my work as LGBTQIA because I'm a member and I try to tell stories from the community so we can have more space and visibility.Looking for something special. When the audience of my work grows, it makes me realise that there are people who are open to my niche, to people with specific sexual preferences or fetishes and to minorities represented in my work. It's my nature to pay attention to small details or niche communities in society. Looking back, I feel like I always provide space for minorities through my work whether it be a Trasher party or an erotic photo exhibition. By giving LGBTQIA characters the spotlight, they are given significance.ĭo you consider working with LGBTQIA characters a form of campaigning? I believe that entertainment can also inspire changes. You can jin two leading males but that's for the sake of entertainment.
However, as BL series gains popularity, it's confined within the entertainment sphere and, unfortunately, it doesn't extend to LGBTQIA rights in real life. Therefore, BL, especially when it's told through an LGBTQIA lens, helps make people outside the community understand what the community wants and what kind of life we want to lead. Lawmakers still look at the world from a binary perspective where you're either a man or a woman while the LGBTQIA community doesn't feel that we're inferior in any way. These two issues go hand-in-hand as they highlight inequality and that people aren't treated equally. On the other hand, there's not enough progress on legalising same-sex marriage and sex work in Thailand. The genre helps normalise the LGBTQIA community. What do you think of the popularity of the BL series in Thailand? However, there's is a sentimental and romantic side to Getaway like other BL series, too. There's no guessing if someone's still in the closet or if one of them may discover something about themselves as the story progresses. The love story feels secondary to me as it's about two men who meet each other as they truly are. Plot-wise, we touch on topics such as coming out and family acceptance, which I feel is Getaway's cornerstone. One way that Getaway is different from other BL series is that our cast consists of openly gay men, who play gay men.
How does Getaway differentiate itself from other BL series? Someone pulled out so I cast Zymone so we can have a trans character for more diversity. He also already has the cast in mind but I picked Zymone to join the cast. Were you involved in any other creative process of Getaway?
Someone mentioned my name and I happened to be a good fit even though I had never directed a series before, except for commercials and music videos.
Since production took place in Thailand, the director had to be fluent in Thai and English. Steven Lim, who portrays the father, is also an acting coach for the series, and was looking for a director, who understands English and the LGBTQIA community. Combine that with Thai production and a few Thai cast, and we have Getaway. We brought easy-to-digest BL to Singaporean audiences in the form of a web series. To my best knowledge, Singapore has its own LGBTQIA series such as People Like Us, which was released a few years ago but there had been nothing like that after.
He noticed how popular BL series are in Asia, especially in Thailand, so he thought of making one for Singapore. It came from Sean Foo, the founder of Dear Straight People, which publishes LGBTQIA content in Singapore about coming out, rights and sexual health.
