IcebHerg (LGTBQ+ Asian Short Film) | MH

A couple go on a date to the beach, with a secret itching to come out.

Directors Note: Thank you to everyone who helped make this come to fruition. Thank you to my crew and my wonderful actors! Coming out is hard and a long process, and I hope this short gives you a tiny piece of levity, tenderness, and hope to those in the LGBTQ+ Community.
