Longing Bayshore is a queer poetic short shaped by the vision of Richard Chan—producer, lead actor, and story originator—who crossed from the order of finance into the uncertainties of art. Emerging from a city marked by quiet yet irreversible change, the film follows a middle-aged man drifting between Hong Kong and Vancouver, tracing not geography but the inner topography of longing. Through neon corridors and coastal silences, he begins to touch the fragments of a long-muted feminine self, allowing softness to return where rigidity once stood. More than a tale of departure, the film becomes a quiet gesture of return—an inward reclamation of a self that had long been waiting.
