Now Magazine has a feature article this week about DNTO host Sook-Yin Lee, describing her role in the film Shortbus:
“The character of Sophia, she says, came from deep inside, inspired by her geeky childhood in a Vancouver suburb where she was one of a handful of Asian-Canadian kids. The character emerged after more than a year of improvisations with the rest of the cast, which included trust exercises, whiffle ball games and routine AIDS tests. ‘Something compelled me toward that story, and I created enough stuff around her so that I didn’t feel like I was playing myself.’ “

Sook-Yin has never been afraid to tackle the unusual and the controversial, sometimes successfully, other times less so. But you have to applaud her efforts regardless.
