Of course, next to this being a film that will find its mass appeal with queer audiences, it’s written, directed, produced and fronted by men of Asian descent, a demographic so often undervalued and underrepresented in queer media.
Whilst I’m certainly not suggesting that Fire Island won’t earn some crossover appeal with straight audiences – hell, I even saw this movie with a straight guy – queer audiences are sure to wholeheartedly embrace Joel Kim Booster‘s deliciously funny, at times savage comedy in a manner that’s entirely personal and significantly unique compared to general audiences.
