Best Sisters Forever, the new short from the director of Your Name Engraved Herein, gives "lip-syncing for your life" a new meaning

Best Sisters Forever, the latest title by Patrick Liu, the creator behind Taiwan's highest-grossing LGBT film of all time, Your Name Engraved Herein, will be making its exclusive premiere via GagaOOLala, globally on 2 July 2021. A first for both Liu and GagaOOLala, the partnership between the Taiwanese director and the platform explores the rising ‘drag’ culture within the queer landscape of Asia with Taiwan at the forefront of the LGBT rights and movement in the region. The film offers an authentic glimpse into the drag sisterhood in Taiwan and contains real-life performances by Taiwanese drag queens in the nation’s most famous gay destination, the Ximending district of Taipei.

The plot of the film centers on the graceful Xuerong (Heng-Chi Kuo) and the fun and frivolous Yihong (Ta SU), two gay best friends ‘sisters’, who get into a heated argument over questions concerning promiscuity and eventually decide to go their separate ways. A terrible misunderstanding leaves the once inseparable ‘sisters’ estranged for several years. However, a tragic turn of events suddenly reunites the two. Knowing their days together are numbered, the pair, then, set out on an adventure hoping to gain lost opportunities and make fond memories. Along the way, they gradually make important discoveries about life, love, friendship, and family, with a long-lost dream ultimately coming true for the life-long duo.

Director Adolfo Alix Jr. Brings Wendell Ramos’ Son and Markki Stroem for the Final Episodes of Unlocked

Quarantine-themed anthology series Unlocked returns with its final three episodes this Thursday, August 27th, to the streaming platform GagaOOLala. Since the release of its first episode back in July, Unlocked quickly became the most watched series of all time on the LGBTQ+ platform, and each new episode has sat at the top of the most watched titles for six weeks.

Seeing the undeniable interest of the audience in these small but emotional stories, director Adolfo Alix Jr. wanted to extend the number of episodes to nine from the original six. “Greenlighting three more episodes was the easiest decision we had to make. Unlocked has brought the attention of people from all over the world and an increase of 500% in new weekly subscribers to the platform, which reflects on how universal and timely the series is,” says Jaime Costas Nicolás, international coordinator at GagaOOLala.
