Spa Night is a 2016 American coming-of-age drama film written and directed by Andrew Ahn. It stars Joe Seo, Haerry Kim, and Youn Ho Cho. The story centers on a closeted Korean-American teenager who, living with his financially struggling immigrant parents, stumbles upon a secret cruising spot when he takes a job at an all-male spa.
Production
Filmmaker Andrew Ahn and his production team originally scheduled June 2014 for filming but were unable to obtain a first investor. Thus, the producers opened a Kickstarter fundraising campaign in October 2014. The funding reached its US$62,000 goal by then. They further received an additional US$35,000, especially from interested investors who saw the goal reached.
The script's early draft lasted thirty pages, primarily set in a spa. Ahn added Korean "culture, Koreatown, and the character’s family" into the film to further develop "the intersection of gay and Korean identity" and to avoid sexuality from being the film's only theme.
