they/them

short film (2021)

synopsis

A day in the life of Silas - a young queer trans person who is trying to navigate home life, life in the queer community, and figuring out their pronouns.

directors statement

I made They/Them at a point in my life where I felt in the middle of my family life and my life as an out queer trans person. I hope that this film offers some hope to those who feel in between. There is no wrong way to be you and we are truly all just trying to figure it out.
