Panda is a four-scene webisode about a gay, Asian "bear" looking to redirect his path to love after realizing his last long-term relationship is truly over. Pressured by a zany, but well meaning activist roommate, he is forced to consider what he looks for in a lover--everything from size to race to sensibility. Look for Panda to debut in March 2013. And watch out for the remaining GAM-TV fall season of webisodes to debut in December 2012.
