Thanks for the feedback. Your right about the importance of getting people who are actively involved in the community and not just academics or activists. It was always my intention to approach the film from that perspective and show more but, as you point out, there are not many people out there who want to be seen in a video like this which is somewhat a tragedy. In the future I am looking at doing a bigger documentary which will feature everyday people (and not neccesarily those already taking a leading role) in the community talking about their lives. Perhaps Fridae would like to co-produce? : ) Hey Jeremy! Thanks for the feedback.

I am wondering whether is any future collaboration to hear from the voice representing the community in its true essence as I know not many from the communities wanted to be inclusive in any projects what will raise their profile. Keep up with the good work as I am sure the world for LGBTIQ in Malaysia will be better in time to come, at least I know when the non LGBTIQ community is ready to accept the sexuality difference.

I think it could do with a little tweaking here and there. We are planning to get it subtitled so I guess we could do the tweaks then. In regards to the slow download rate, the film is hosted on vimeo and the time it takes to stream is only limited by your own connection speed I'm afraid. I will go ahead and add your tag suggestions. Thanks for the feedback! Hey Angela. ye, the film is far from perfect. I think it could do with a little tweaking here and there.

The download for this film was painfully slow. Over 1 hour and I was only 8 minutes into the film in viewing it. The way the film is edited, it sounds like Thilaga is justifying why HIV/AIDS is going up i.e. as if it is because there are alternative sexualities. You may want to revisit this particular part, or maybe because the download was so staggered for my viewing, that I missed something. On tags, was wondering why words like "gender, equality, Malaysia, freedom, discrimination, criminalisation, sexuality" were not added. And is there a reason why it's only LGBT and not LGBTIQ? :o) Or better yet to put the actual words of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, intersexed, queer? I liked that you ended with what Juelie said. It's a good way to end the film. Some feedback…
