Award-winning Queer Indie filmmaker Quentin Lee just released his latest feature THE LAST\xa0SUMMER OF NATHAN LEE promising to take audiences on an emotional journey. The film which\xa0explores the story of a Chinese American teenager who finds out that he has brain cancer right\xa0before he turns 18.

THE LAST SUMMER OF NATHAN LEE is a compelling narrative that delves into the life of Nathan\xa0Lee played by Harrison Xu (Bloodhounds/Netflix), a Chinese American teenager on the cusp of\xa0adulthood. Just days before his 18th birthday, Nathan is confronted with the harsh reality of a\xa0brain cancer diagnosis. Faced with a limited amount of time, he makes a life-altering decision to\xa0live each day with an unmatched zeal for life while also refusing to die a virgin.
Knowing that his gay best friend, Dash (Matthew Mitchell Espinosa), wants to become a\xa0filmmaker, Nathan offers himself as a documentary subject to Dash, who also happens to be in\xa0love with Nathan. Nathan and Dash decide to document as much of his remaining life as possible.\xa0Without reservation, Nathan experiments sexually and falls in love with Lorelei played by\xa0Natasha Tina Liu (Here and Now/HBO), another high school friend. As Nathan realizes he cannot\xa0reciprocate Dash\u2019s true love, he decides to marry Dash, a Dreamer Immigrant, and gifts him an\xa0American citizenship.

Quentin Lee - \u201cGrowing up in the 80s, I loved teen movies from that era which unfortunately not only have no\xa0Asian Pacific Islander characters but sometimes even have racist stereotypes like Long Duk Dong\xa0from Sixteen Candles, traumatizing API teens of my generation,\u201d said Director Quentin Lee. \u201cEven
to this day, the dearth of API teen movies has inspired me to create Last Summer of Nathan Lee\xa0that not only reflect but is made for today\u2019s generation of BIPOC teens in North America. I hope\xa0it can be a Pretty in Pink that my own son, now only 7, will grow up to watch as a teenager in the\xa0future.\u201d

Quentin Lee is the winner of the 2020 Roddenberry Foundation Impact Awards for TV creators, a member of the\xa0Producers Guild of America, Canadian Media Producers Association and Academy of Television\xa0Arts & Sciences (Directors and Producers Peer Group), Quentin Lee is a multimedia creator and\xa0has directed and produced over ten feature films and three TV series.
