Young trans guy Gary catches eyes with brooding trans geezer Ian across the square of their Essex hometown, and unwittingly walks in to a testosterone heist plot...

Hormonal

In this two-chapter project I piece together the progression of my HRT process, using voice documentation and virtual scenarios to recognize physical and psychological changes. Both chapters are chronological evidence of a -one year- gender affirming experience dating back to pre-testosterone days, when I first envisioned my nonbinary avatar inspired by my deepest dreams.

How to Make an Avatar & Render my Body

We started thinking through testosterone in gel and expanded to elements such as tears; warm beer; holy water; and mercury. 

With such, we propose a new constellation of technologies through a narration on vulnerability. Tools to destroy and disappear, but also to expand and nourish. 

A homage to the symbolic link in a drop of water and a late-night DM; a soaked jacket coming back home and trying to resuscitate a phone in rice.


The film was created through a back-to-back dialogue between "makers". It’s a research on writing and filming, and simultaneously on affection and subjectivity. It was filmed in Super-8 and 16mm film.


We believe this piece fits this platform because not only it's a reflection on the rewiring of the mind and the body through transmasculinities, but also it's a piece that acts as a moment to breathe, be vulnerable, share and be in peace with uncertainty. It's as much about fear as it's about euphoria.

I Might Go and Throw My Phone Into The Lake, Yeah

Interweaving love stories centering real individuals who are utilizing medicine to explore new frontiers of love, sex, and the human form.

New forms of sex and love emerge in the first American film to ever win the Teddy jury prize at the Berlin Film Festival,

When the young hermaphrodite Cynthia (Gaea Gaddy) meets Gen (Tempest Crane) and Jay (Jendeen Forberg), a couple recovering from plastic surgery, she learns of Pandrogony, in which two people merge their facial features in order to reflect their evolution from separate identities into one unified entity.

Inspired by this, Cynthia abandons her husband and suburban life to embark on a road trip with Gen through the remnants of 20th century America.

Simultaneously, a young transman, Syd (Morty Diamond), meets a young punk man, Nick (Daniel Luedtke). After having sex with one another, and someone born of the opposite sex for the first time, Syd and Nick find themselves falling into love, a love that forces them to confront how hormone treatments have forever changed sex and relationships.

Not science fiction, but American reality 

 brings together a cast of real hermaphroditic, pandrogynous, and transpeople to create a revealing look at the pioneers of the new human experience, and the emerging possibilities for humanity at the dawn of a new millennium.

Sex: M

 You don’t really realize how hard injecting yourself with a needle is until it become part of your weekly routine. Especially when you know you have to do it the rest of your life. I wanted to create something that captured the shot anxiety I have when injecting testosterone every week as a trans man.


Shot Anxiety

is a short narrative video about five transgender guys who, after discovering an internet article announcing the availability of penis transplants, plot ways to raise over a million dollars for surgery.

, and to Busby Berkeley and Peter Berlin movies, this action-packed comedy starts with the boys’ uneasy experiences of life as a “guy without a dick,” then follows their rosy fantasies of life “post-transplant,” and the crazy lengths to which they go to obtain surgery money. Fun and colorful, 

provides insightful commentary on the tyranny of body parts and mainstream culture’s policing of maleness from a queer perspective.
