Alex Liu’s A SEXPLANATION picked for release by Passion River and FUSE TV gets some sexy time too

Alex Liu’s documentary A Sexplanation has been acquired by Passion River for North American VOD/DVD rights, and will release it on all major streaming and cable platforms in the U.S. and Canada on June 7. The film will also air prior to that release on Fuse TV as part of its Fuse Docs series beginning on May 3.

To right the wrongs of his all-American sex education, 36-year-old health reporter Alex Liu goes on a quest to uncover naked truths and hard facts—no matter how awkward it gets. From neuroscience labs to church pews, A Sexplanation features provocative conversations with psychologists, sex researchers, a Jesuit priest, and several generations of Alex’s own family. With humor and grit, Alex takes audiences on a playful, heartfelt journey from a shame-filled past to a happier, healthier, sexier future.

It’s your typical queer, Asian American, comedic sex education documentary about the universal search for love, connection, and family acceptance. Directed by Liu, A Sexplanation is written by Leonardo Neri and Alex Liu, produced by Steven Flynn, and edited by Brian Emerick and Alex Liu. Brian Emerick serves as Cinematographer.

The award-winning film has screened at 32 film festivals on four continents, eight countries, and 18 states, and currently has a 100% rating score on Rotten Tomatoes. Festival awards include Audience Award, Feature Documentary (Cinequest, Inside Out LGBTQ, Asian American International, ReelQ, Paris International), Jury Award, Feature Documentary (DC Asian Pacific, Honolulu Rainbow), Jury Award, Best First Time Film (Tallgrass), and Audience Award, Feature Film (Phoenix).

Liu said, “Reaching as many people as possible and inspiring new conversations has always been the goal of A Sexplanation. Naturally, having the right partners to provide the best platforms for the film is incredibly important, especially with a topic like…well, sex. Both Passion River and Fuse TV clearly get it and have the best reputations for supporting films like this one, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to team up with them.”

“We are thrilled to be able to represent A Sexplanation — a truly important and relevant film that also is truly entertaining,” said Josh Levin, head of Sales and Acquisitions for Passion River Films. “This is the education everyone needs and so few get. In this time of cultural and political division — and its effect on what can be taught in schools — this film is vitally needed… and hella funny.”
