Interesting facts

The First Girl I Loved is a 2021 Hong Kong lesbian romance film co-directed and co-written by Yeung Chiu-hoi and Candy Ng. Starring Hedwig Tam and Renci Yeung as Wing and Sylvia, two schoolgirls and best friends, the film explores the blossoming and eventual fading of their romantic relationship during their school years.

Production

TVB actor Yeung Chiu-hoi became interested in producing a Hong Kong-based coming-of-age romance film after watching the Taiwanese film You Are the Apple of My Eye (2011) by Giddens Ko. In 2014, he shared his desire to write a feature film with Candy Ng, his classmate at the City University of Hong Kong who founded a production house. The two began developing the project together in 2015, and completed the screenplay the same year.

Principal photography began on 10 August 2018, with Tam, Yeung, Stephen Au, and Willie Wai announced to star. Filming spanned a year and a half and was split into two parts. The first shoot involved 20 scenes, while Yeung and Ng sought advice from industry seniors using the existing footage, and filmed nine additional scenes in the second shoot.
