Our cast, made up entirely of Trans folks, tell the story of Nimzo, who deals with a confrontation from the past all while trying to fill his testosterone supply during the pandemic shortage. (From D'Lo - Story based on confronting the air traffic controller who caused the death of my sister. ) In this project, we fictionalized the story to talk about grief and vulnerability, not just about death, but the worry that this trans character won't be seen as human by the person he wishes to forgive.

Felt Right Then, Feels Right Now depicts the childhood memory of Blyth trying on his father’s boxers at age eight, before leaving for Brownies still wearing them under his uniform. This memory is one of many that have contributed to Blyth understanding that his gender identity did not align with the sex he was assigned at birth, leading to the artist coming out as transgender at eighteen. The artist intends for this to be the first of many animations in a series titled Defining Moments of a Trans Experience, which will portray Blyth’s experiences pre and post transitioning from female to male that contribute to his continued understanding of the fluidity of gender. The animation consists of 728 unique cels, shot at a rate of 24 frames per second. It was hand-drawn using fine-liners and colouring pencils, using a live-action video for reference of the artist’s eight-year-old sister trying on a similar pair of boxers to that which he remembers. The audio accompanying the animation is from the live-action reference and features the voices of Blyth’s parents, bringing a personal reality to the animation of this intimate moment.
