Double Blind is a 35 minute non-profit, short feature film, meant to educate and entertain audiences at the same time. The project explores the coming out process and acceptance of a middle-age Chinese-Filipino homosexual male in his repressive state of being in a marital commitment. It tells the story of a second generation Filipino-Chinese man, who in the past, has battled with his homosexual tendencies and believes that the only way to settle his problem is by way of marriage and repression. Now that he has a family and an image to uphold, a chance meeting with his erstwhile lover forces him to choose between his happiness or uphold the Chinese way of thinking that has been instilled upon him.
