Looking For?

Looking For? is one of the most common questions raised by users of gay dating apps, but sometimes it’s not an easy one to answer. At least not for Yen, the director, when it first popped up on his screen few years ago.

The question sets Yen on a journey across the world, visiting 60 men living in 7 cities, revealing their experiences of love, lust, and lost as gay people in modern times. Yen’s journey did not yield a simple answer, rather, it invites the audience to contemplate: what are we all looking for?
