"THAT GUY...WITH GREAT HAIR" / 2012
"THAT GUY...WITH GREAT HAIR" is a gender performance focussing on the stylization of the body and how it can culturally and symbolically define and even blur the line between the binary of male and female. Hair is just one significant factor that may culturally signify some sort of gender. This idea is challenged through a simple and short haircut along with the experimental encounter with the stylists at Supercuts, a very gendered venue to receive a haircut as it commercially centers on the stylization of white male hair.
Screened at the 19th Annual APSA Talent Show: Film Festival, by the Asian Pacific Islander Student Alliance at UCSD. San Diego, CA in 2014.
Screened at the 14th San Diego Asian Film Festival, organized by Pacific Arts Movement. San Diego, CA in 2013.
