Kai Ling Xue was born in Hualien, Taiwan and moved to Vancouver in 1997 to pursue her dream of becoming an interdisciplinary artist. Her work explores women's issues, race and sexuality. Her work has been shown at festivals and Biennales in Asia, Europe, the US and Canada.

Shot in four countries, "A Girl Named Kai" is a brave and honest autobiographical vignette about Kai Ling's relationships, self discoveries, passions, secrets, and dreams.

"A Girl Named Kai" sets out to challenge our society's preconception of people who are considered Outsiders, while empowering the audience to examine contemporary notions of internal and external social identities.
