He produced, wrote and directed Drift, a drama that became a hit on the gay and lesbian film festival circuit and was sold to Wellspring Media. Drift was also released theatrically to critical acclaim in Los Angeles.Praised as a “perceptive illumination of Asian American life... at once a tender love story and a psychological suspense drama,” Ethan Mao is Lee’s third feature as a writer/director. The film was sold to TLA Releasing in the U.S. and was also sold to the UK, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China. An exploration of his emotional attachment to Hong Kong, 0506HK is Lee’s first documentary feature.
