"I think that, the only thing I wish I knew then, was that life was going to be extremely challenging and that it was okay... If you're going to stick around on Earth, just make me this one promise: make sure you have a freaking good time."


Tien, is the 1st Asian Transman to publicly come out in the Vancouver, then, gay and lesbian community of 2001. In this profound and inspiring film, Tien shares his story as a pioneer, racialised transman immigrant and his journey to discovering his true purpose in life -- cultivating and becoming joy.
