I created this film as my senior thesis project at Southeast Missouri State University. Living in a very conservative area at a time when more anti-LGBTQ+ bills were being passed than ever before was very terrifying. Therefore, it was very important to tell a queer love story. Untitled Self Portrait is about romantic love, platonic love/friendship, and most importantly self love. Also, it was very important to me to have proper representation with a fully queer cast. This includes a nonbinary lead actor, a gay AAPI love interest, and a bisexual female best friend.
