LOS ANGELES, July 5 (Reuters) - When actress Stephanie Hsu realized there were no limits to how outrageous she could be in the film "Joy Ride," she was confident it was going to be a "good time."
"Joy Ride" follows childhood friends Audrey and Lolo, who are joined by Lolo's cousin Deadeye and Audrey's former college roommate Kat as they embark on a wild journey to China to find Audrey's birth mother.
It features an all-Asian main cast with queer and non-binary actors that introduce multi-faceted characters who reach beyond racial or gender stereotypes.
We definitely throw the patriarchy around in a way that is awesome," said Wu, who is non-binary.
