Give as a gift
All films in this program are closed-captioned.
In this political moment, when creating feels futile, I choose instead to craft a spell.
Four tracks make up my film: two you can see and hear, and two that remain invisible and inaudible, yet are fully present.
The Door Is Open is a spell by and for trans and non-binary people. It is an offering—crafted with intention, grief, joy, and magic. This short film is not meant for consumption or voyeuristic curiosity.
The Door Is Open is an act of care: a portal, a whisper, a protection spell woven in light and shadow.
If you are trans and or non-binary, this film is for you.
You are invited.
You are necessary.
You are seen.
The spell waits patiently for you.
