When her first documentary, The Lucky One, reached 100,000 views on YouTube and won prizes at international film festivals, He Xiaopei came to a realization.
"From that moment, I said I'm only making films now because each time we have meetings, twenty people at most come, talking about their sexy stories. And [anyone] who knows the story after, stays in this room."
She followed The Lucky One up with films like Polyamorous Family and Our Marriages: When Lesbians Marry Gay Men.
Xiaopei came on the Point to talk about her films, her inspiration, and what comes next.
