('losing face'). but i made this film for myself & for the closure i never got. and i am ready to tell my truth now. IT WOULD MEAN THE WORLD TO US if you retweeted/liked the trailer on twitter or you can continue track the progress of the film's release via instagram. ▶ Check out my other directing work at: https://www.christinaxing.com/ Instagram: @ChristinaXing Twitter: @ChristinaXingg
