DEAF GIRL MEDIA ANNOUNCES "SCRIPTED HEARTS: THE THAI GL PHENOMENON" DOCUMENTARY – CALLING ALL GL FANS TO SHARE THEIR STORIES!

A groundbreaking exploration of Thailand's Girls' Love series and their global impact

BANGKOK & CHARLESTON – April 29, 2025 – Deaf Girl Media is thrilled to announce the production of "SCRIPTED HEARTS: The Thai GL Phenomenon," a vibrant documentary that dives into the colorful world of Thai Girls' Love (GL) series and their growing influence across international audiences. This exciting project aims to capture not just the shows themselves, but the passionate fans whose lives have been touched by this revolutionary form of storytelling.

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

Are you head-over-heels for Thai GL dramas? Do you find yourself rewatching those heart-fluttering moments between your favorite couples? Have these stories helped you discover something about yourself? We want YOU to be part of our documentary!

Deaf Girl Media is searching for enthusiastic fans to share why the Thai GL series has captured their hearts and imaginations. Whether you're writing fanfiction into the night, creating stunning fan art, or simply can't stop talking about your favorite on-screen couples, your perspective matters to us!

"Thai GL stories are creating ripples of representation that matter deeply to viewers around the world," says Amy Strassner, founder of Deaf Girl Media and producer of Scripted Hearts. "We're not just making a documentary; we're building a celebration of how these narratives connect us across cultures and open new possibilities for storytelling."

WHY THIS MATTERS

While BL (Boys' Love) content has received significant attention internationally, GL series represent an exciting and evolving space where female relationships take center stage. Thailand has become a pioneer in this genre, crafting stories that resonate with audiences hungry for authentic representation.

"The way Thai GL explores themes of identity, social acceptance, and love through culturally-specific contexts with layered characters offers fresh perspectives rarely seen in Western media," Strassner explains. "We're especially interested in how fans have found community, validation, and joy through these productions, including the unique fan meet culture."

GET INVOLVED!

Fans selected to participate will have the opportunity to:

• Share your personal journey with Thai GL content
• Discuss how these series have impacted your life
• Be part of a documentary that celebrates this meaningful form of representation

We're particularly interested in fans who:

• Have attended fan meets (in Thailand or internationally)
• Participate in the money bouquet and couple interaction rituals
• Have built cross-cultural friendships through GL fandoms
• Create fan works (art, fiction, video edits, translations)
• Have been influenced personally by GL representations
• Participated in influencing campaigns for their favorite GL artists

The documentary team is scheduled to be filming in Thailand in January 2026, with additional remote interviews conducted globally.
