Andrew Ahn makes his feature directorial debut with Spa Night, a drama about a closeted Korean-American teen whose job at a Korean spa awakens his sexuality. It drew good reviews at the Sundance Film Festival in January, where it competed for the U.S. Dramatic prizes, and indeed won one: a Special Jury Award for Breakthrough Performance for lead Joe Seo. Strand Releasing, which has a great history of releasing arthouse titles in the U.S., particularly LGBT+-themed ones, opened Spa Night on the 19th of August; we await further international attention for the film in the near future!
