Being Casper

Casper is NOT named after a certain, famous friendly ghost.
He's just a normal kid, grinding through a normal life, playing Zelda with his best friend Ian, balancing the expectation of his tough parents, and trying to be the best version of himself.
And then there's Andrew Giordano, an anomaly in an otherwise perfect equation, and someone who has been in his life since they were thirteen.
The son of Asian immigrants, Casper knows the reputation of his skin color and the expectations from the world.

But what if those expectations clash with what he wants?
Worse yet, what he if he doesn't realize he's been living a lie?

Told through snapshots across 13 years, this is a story of a boy's joys and pitfalls of growing up a minority, a celebration of milestones in a young man's life, a love letter to the power of self-discovery, and a hymn to the inevitable passage of time.
Boyhood X Love, Simon. Perks of Being a Wallflower with a dose of Moonlight.
This is Being Casper.
