White Frog is an upcoming American film written by Fabienne Wen and Ellie Wen and directed by Quentin Lee. It is an original young adult drama with comedy and heart about 15-year-old Nick (The Twilight Saga's Booboo Stewart), a neglected teen with mild Asperger’s syndrome whose life is challenged and ultimately changed forever when tragedy hits his family. White Frog is a universal story of the power of family, friendship, and love positioned to appeal to a broad audience in the same way as Ordinary People, The Joy Luck Club, and The Kids Are All Right.^[2]

It debuted at the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival on March 8, 2012.^[3]

Plot

Nick Young (Booboo Stewart) is a high school freshman struggling with Asperger’s Syndrome who idolizes his perfect older brother Chaz Young (Harry Shum Jr.). His brother dies when riding his bike on the highway, a group of guys were driving recklessly. Nick's friends attend the funeral and help him get through his loss. Randy tells Nick how his brother spent, "his whole life trying to keep up this lie that you were a perfect family." Chaz had a secret dream, he went to a "community center." He wanted to be a dancer.
