ABOUT THE FILM

LOGLINE

Quentin Lee’s gripping mystery of loss and redemption at the intersections of queerness, neurodiversity, and Asian-American identity.

LONG SYNOPSIS

After the death of his popular brother Chaz (Harry Shum Jr.), Nick (BooBoo Stewart), who suffers from Asperger’s syndrome, struggles to carry on. Nick’s parents have their own problems coping with the loss, but Chaz’s best friend Randy (Gregg Sulkin) takes Nick under his wing. As Chaz’s family comes to understand his secret life, they will be forced to reconcile the boy they thought they knew with the man he really was. WHITE FROG is a universal story of the power of family, friendship and love positioned to appeal to a broad audience in the same way as Ordinary People and Stand By Me.

The cast includes Booboo Stewart (The Twilight Saga), Joan Chen (1911, TV’s “Twin Peaks”), BD Wong (TV’s “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”), Harry Shum Jr. (TV’s “Glee”), Gregg Sulkin (TV’s “Wizards of Waverly Place,” “Melissa & Joey”), Kelly Hu (X2, TV’s “The Vampire Diaries”) and Tyler Posey (TV’s “Teen Wolf”).
