Waiting for the Wind: A Short Film about Gay Men in Vietnam



Directed by Hieu Tran, founder of Friends Make Film in Vietnam, Waiting for the Wind depicts the lives of two young gay men living in Ho Chi Minh City, showcasing poignant messages about love, sex, HIV, and the challenges gay men face due to stigma and discrimination in Vietnam. The film delves into family support, sex work, and access to HIV services, aiming to catalyze frank discussions about the lives of gay men in a country where most people do not see homosexuality in a positive light.
      
Hieu Tran founded Friends Make Film in 2012, bringing together a local group of young gay men and straight allies who have the passion and commitment to make short films that tell stories of Vietnamese people, including the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people. To make Waiting for the Wind, Hieu Tran worked with a dedicated crew of gay and straight allies to write the script, recruit the two main actors (one gay and one straight), produce the film, and release it online. Tran was motivated to write the script because he believes that gay men’s love, struggles, and experiences need to be discussed openly in Vietnam.
The film will be screened and discussed in public fora with stakeholders, policy makers, healthcare providers, and the community at large. Tran believes that Waiting for the Wind has the potential to raise awareness and generate important dialogues about the most salient issues in the lives of gay men in Vietnam. The online response to the film has been extremely positive, with the film accumulating over 23,000 hits on youtube in the first two months since its release.
G-Link and the Global Forum on MSM & HIV (MSMGF) supported the production of Waiting for the Wind as part of the Speaking Out Initiative in Vietnam. The Speaking Out Initiative is in its second year of implementation, with the mission to strengthen MSM advocacy and engagement at the local, national, and international level to end the HIV epidemic and promote MSM human rights with the Vietnamese HIV law and other social-political contexts.

Keep Your Winter Wedding Cozy with HITCHED! Bridal Hong Kong


Spring and Summer are two of the most popular seasons for weddings, but many argue that Winter weddings are much more cozy! Learn how to host the perfect cold-weather wedding with tips from HITCHED! Bridal Hong Kong.

Tying in nature to your wedding theme keeps your ceremony and reception intimate. Try using pinecones, feathers, sprigs of leaves, and berries as your centerpiece. Make your own wedding stamps out of a piece of wood from a tree in your back yard. You can even add a little nature to your announcements by writing your names and the date of the wedding in the snow!

Make sure to keep guests warm during the reception with the right food and drink. A smores bar is a great way to allow guests to be creative with their dessert while keeping it toasty. A caramel apple bar is another sweet treat that will warm the tummy. For drinks, you can’t go wrong with a good hot cocoa bar with heart shaped marshmallows as a topping. Apple cider served in hollowed apples is a cute, creative way to serve up a classic hot drink.


Add a little coziness to your wedding wardrobe with an elegant coat. Coordinate with bridesmaids so the whole wedding party can stay warm and look good doing it! If there’s bound to be snow at your wedding, hide some cute and snuggly boots under your dresses to keep your feet warm.


A winter wedding would be nothing without a little snow! Add a fake snow dusting to the tables of your guests and decorate the dining area with twinkling lights, intimate candles, and sparkling snowflakes. Icicles also make for a great wedding cake decoration in place of traditional ribbons.

No matter what your winter wedding need is, HITCHED! Bridal Hong Kong is here to help. Call HITCHED! Bridal Hong Kong at 852 2815 8330, visit their store in person, or visit them online.
