Todd Wilson (director)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Todd Chadwick Wilson (1963-September 4, 2005) was a film director who made several gay films. Wilson's two feature films highlight gay male Asian-White relationships.
According to an online source, "Todd believed much of queer cinema suffered from deficiencies such as overall negativity, downer endings, and lack of emotional and physical payoff. Todd infused his films with positive likable characters, happy endings, and emotional and titillating payoffs."[1]
