Unspoken is a short documentary by Patrick G. Lee following six queer and trans Asian Americans as they navigate identity, family expectations, and the complexities of coming out. Through personal stories and letters to their parents, the film examines the cultural and generational distances that shape these conversations.
Drawing on the permanence of embroidery and its significance within East Asian material traditions, I developed a title treatment combining hand-embroidered lettering with graphic illustration. The opening animation and accompanying portraits translate the intimate, often unspoken experiences of the film into a tactile visual language. Each frame of the title sequence was embroidered by hand to achieve a human touch and a sense of vulnerability.
