Leslie Chan - Unfinished

Project Summary:
Lloyd Wong was a video artist and worked as a crew member on several Toronto Living With AIDS tapes in 1990-92. Wong began making his own tape “An other Country for TLWA” but never completed it before he died of AIDS related illnesses. Through an exploration of Wong’s raw footage, this project tells the story of a filmmaker in the process of creating a film, and who didn’t have the chance to finish it.
