Hi, this is Daniel Garber at the Movies for culturalmining.com and CIUT 89.5 FM.

Daniel and Ryan are best friends who moved to LA to make it big in show biz.  But a decade later, neither one is famous. So Ryan is moving with his fiancé to Edmonton, Alberta. And Daniel, who is secretly gay and may have a crush on his best friend, feels this big turning point deserves doing something special: so they decide to shoot a movie over the weekend to commemorate their friendship. But what will they use for a plot? How about something they both know well? Like a movie about two guys, Gregg and Tim, making a movie! And what will their movie be about? How about two guys — named Jasper and Jake — making a movie? And if they can stay away from edibles and pull themselves together this film will surely be something extremely unique and dynamic. 

Extremely Unique Dynamic is also a new film written, directed and starring Ivan Leung and Harrison Xu as Daniel and Ryan (and Gregg and Tim, and Jasper and Jake). Ivan is an actor and rap artist known for his love of tacos, while fellow actor Harrison has also struck it big as a voice actor specializing in anime and Korean soaps. This extremely unique film might be the only Indie, Meta, Asian-American Stoner, Coming-Of-Age, Bromantic Dramedy, ever made! Well maybe…

I spoke with Ivan and Harrison via Zoom.

Extremely Unique Dynamic is having its international premiere at the 2024 Inside Out 2SLGBTQ+ Film Festival on May 25, at 7PM at Toronto’s TIFF Lightbox.
