''My Best Gay Friends'' (Vietnamese: ''Bộ ba đĩ thõa'', roughly translated as ''The Bitchy Trio'') is a Vietnamese web series that debuted on YouTube in 2012. Considered to be the first gay sitcom in Vietnam, it has garnered a large following, receiving about two million views per episode despite being made on a shoestring budget. It is the brainchild of openly gay film student Huỳnh Nguyễn Đăng Khoa, who directed, wrote, produced, and starred in the series. The series centers on the lives of three young gay housemates who share an apartment in Ho Chi Minh City. ==Production== According to director Huỳnh Nguyễn Đăng Khoa, he conceived the series after hearing Trần Nguyễn Kim Hân (who also stars in the series) recount his "weird and amusing" experience after coming out.〔〔 He wanted to portray gay people in a more realistic way, unlike the negative images he often saw in Vietnamese films and comedies. He said, “It’s not right. I’m gay and I see my life as very normal. That’s why I want to bring true images of homosexuals to everyone to change their perspective on us.”〔 He plans to make 15 episodes in total.〔 Most of the cast and crew are friends of Đăng Khoa, with most of them belonging to the LGBT community in Vietnam. Some other actors, who are not gay, also participate to show their support.〔 Each episode lasts about 20 minutes and takes about 2–3 days to film and edit. Each costs about 1 million VND (50 USD) to create, mostly borne by Đăng Khoa and friends.〔 The crew typically film on location, such as at school, on a bus, or at a market, so they are sometimes ejected from their filming locations.〔 ''My Best Gay Friends'' was filmed using a Canon EOS 600D DSLR camera and a tripod.〔 The second season, planned to be 15-20 episodes long in the musical format, is slated to begin filming in October 2013. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「My Best Gay Friends」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
