No Time Like The Present - SHORTS!

Time is of the essence in this collection of short documentaries centered on the real lives of transgender people in America. In BURTON BEFORE AND AFTER, a trans man and his friend dive into a cache of home video footage from the early stages of his transition 15 years prior. One woman creates a visual letter to her transgender fiancé’s only living grandparent in GRANDMOTHER AND ME. FIGHTING TWO WARS: THE STORY OF THALIA JANE AINSLEY tells the story of a Vietnam war vet who transitioned later in life. Trans teens Dakota Nieves and Indiana Baker explore their experiences growing up trans in New York City in T(HE)Y. In HOME MADE, two tattoo artists share their experiences as trans and queer men in the tattoo industry. One twin documents the journey of his brother’s struggle with mental illness, drug addiction, and gender transition over the course of one tumultuous year in MY BROTHER BLAKE; and a couple from Tennessee share their insights surrounding love, gender, and pet snakes in GRAHAM AND ZEKE.
