导演阐述
到目前为止大部分的工作和生活都在和性与性别，公民社会和人权议题一起成长，之前拍的东西都是为了提高性少数人群的能见度，为了发声，为了自己的话语权。现在离开了全职的NGO工作，成为了一个自由职业者，因为不是什么学院派，又无法完全摆脱一个社会活动家的思维方式，还是特别喜欢那些很少被看到的人和故事，那些有抗争的，那些勇敢为自己而活，那些让我觉得自己生活得太单调的人物故事

Synopsis
Every day at 3pm Jessica starts his make-up to be ready for his performance at 7:30. He does not perform in a bar or in a theater but at home facing his mobile phone. He is an online professional Drag Queen. Each day of the week he gets online to perform and to receive “gifts” from his fans. Although he enjoys being a Drag Queen, he not only has to prove his talents and skills but also to fight against prejudices and discrimination. Even if the space for drag shows in China is constrained, he is always looking for opportunities to perform in front of live audiences.

Director’s Statement
So far, most of my work and life have been growing up with issues of sexuality and gender, civil society and human rights. Most of my films were about to raise the visibility of LGBTI people in China, to speak out, and asking for equal rights. Now I have left my full-time NGO job and become a freelancer, because I am not an film academic, and I cannot completely get rid of the way of thinking of a activist. So my film still like focus on people and stories that are rarely seen, those who have struggled, those who are brave to live for themselves, those who make me feel that my life is too monotonous.
