FRONT COVER tells the story of Ryan Fu, a gay Chinese American who rejects his Asian heritage and has learnt to suppress it to climb up the social ladder. Through talent and hard work, he has attained his dream job as an assistant to Francesca, a celebrity fashion stylist. One day, Francesca assigns Ryan to style Ning, an actor who has just arrived from Beijing, for a top magazine photo shoot. Ning dismisses Ryan's initial Western styling and demands Ryan creates an image for him which represents the power of the new China. Their opinions clash resulting in a strained working relationship. Over the following days, as they socialize while working together they discover, however, that not only do they share a lot in common, but also share a mutual attraction. But as they fall in love, a Chinese tabloid magazine exposes Ning as gay. Terrified of the impact it will have on his career, Ning begs Ryan to lie for him. Ryan must now decide whether to help Ning or stay true to himself... (Hawaii International Film Festival)
