A middle aged trans man transitions at the age of 44 and observes his changes over a year and nine months, with a looming ongoing news cycle of anti-trans legislation.
Cowboy Billi / Billi il Cowboy
It is the late 1960s, and in the Roman countryside, next to the construction sites of the burgeoning working-class suburbs, dozens of western films were being shot. Billi is twelve years old; she rides horses and dreams of being a cowboy. When a casting agent shows up looking for young extras to do some stunt work, Billi knows this is her big chance. Her family, however, thinks otherwise.
Lost Bois
It’s the story of a hedonistic and gritty exploration of the lives of three trans bois in New York City - Samp, Gian, and Moose – who are struggling to find their place in the world. But amidst the chaos and despair, they also find moments of transcendence and raw connection.
