He explains how as a visitor to the Philippines, he had originally been surprised by the high level of acceptance transgendered women (bakla) seemed to enjoy in their local communities. In order to explore more deeply the place of mtf transgenderism in Philippine society, Shawn decided to make a documentary about "Sunflowers", the name of a group of bakla who are well-known throughout their province for performing an annual Christian festival in elaborate drag.
