stars as Denny, a free-spirited artist, who falls for a straight-laced, corporate lawyer named Ryan, played by Alex Russell ; but the young romance is tested when Denny begins to explore their gender identity. Though the film has yet to debut, Hewson is nominated for ‘Best Performance’ at the fest for their role.
“This is a complex love story for our generation,” O’Donnell says of the film. “Given our film centers on a gender non-conforming lead, it was a natural choice to also utilize a non-conforming narrative structure that would challenge an audience to question conventions.” Raynen, who also identifies as trans and non-binary, says having the four actors play the lead role “feels very intuitive.”
Raynen is particularly proud of the efforts made to support and re-center trans voices and experiences through the creation of this film.
