Zero Chou Interview With Zero Chou AfterEllen

Chou and Hoho Liu (Chinese: 劉芸后) are an openly lesbian couple. Chou "is one of the few openly lesbian filmmakers in the world, and the only one in Taiwan," according to AfterEllen. She is currently filming a six-film series called the Six Asian Cities Rainbow Project (亞洲六城彩虹計劃). She is trying to finish as quickly as possible and worries she will go missing while filming, since many of the locations have rules against films presenting LGBT content.
