Interesting facts
Billie and Emma is a 2018 Filipino drama film, directed by Samantha Lee. It is an LGBTQ coming-of-age story set in the mid-1990s, and is Lee's sophomore feature film.
Background
Lee, who wrote, directed and produced Billie and Emma, stated that she is making movies that her younger self "needed to see", as she had grown up without seeing representation of herself as a queer youth in the media, and was left feeling invisible. According to her, she made sure this film did that which she thought would never happen in her lifetime: cast queer actors to play queer roles, in a film directed by a queer director.
