Have you ever been to a show with trans actors or characters?

What did you like or dislike?

Not sure immediately of a good answer to this question. I heard of a movie called A Fantastic Woman currently which is about a trans woman in Chile, played by a trans woman. Not in cinema where I am yet.

Flying with One Wing is a movie from Sri Lanka about a trans man, but not played by a trans actor.

I've recently applied for membership for a short time so I can try to get in touch with nonbinary people. As I'm involved in a project making a film where there is a scene with a nonbinary character. We decided the character should be played by a nonbinary actor.

Can you provide more info about your project and location?

Hi again,
Though I'm about to go offline and will have to get back tomorrow...

I'm not in charge of the project,
However it is based in North Wales, UK and films on 26 March. I'm on the writing and editing of the script and a minor role in the crew, but am not in the film cast. I said I'd ask around and try and find someone nonbinary, and already asked 3 local groups for volunteers.

Waiting to hear back from them and decided meanwhile to look for nonbinary forums to ask there too, in case someone was from our area.

Our film now is an educational film 5 minutes long aimed at healthcare professionals. It is about the new healthcare pathway for Trans and nonbinary patients in the UK health system. The main character is a trans woman just starting transition. In one scene a nonbinary person is also seeking treatment. We have an actress (a trans woman) playing the main character. By the way there is no payment because the only expenditure can be on film crew transportation and accommodation, and the filming/editing itself. So none of us making the film are getting paid. The film will hopefully be ready to enter the 2019 Iris Prize Film Festival, an LGBTQIA+ international film festival in Wales, UK. (We just attended the 2018 one recently)

Have to go now!

If you send me a breakdown on it, here, I can copy and paste it into a place where some trans actors may be interested.  However, that is a professional site and most will ask to be paid.  You may get some results though if someone is building a reel and if you include something of that nature to sweeten the deal.

There also may be people we cannot see guesting in that would read your post here.

Best I can do for you.

Thanks for reaching out.

Hi again,
Just finished class.

You could send the stuff in an email and the person to contact is [e-mail]

However the person is only in it for a few seconds, so we're looking for someone local.

[Trinity]

Thank you

Dear Trinity,
I'll keep you posted as & when anything changes, or happens.

Friday night (last week) I just found an actor willing to take the role.

A good piece of news for people on this forum, I hope:
a) They are local and live in North Wales, and have a car.
b) They are willing to do it for no pay.
c) They are nonbinary.

For more information, in the meantime, email [e-mail]

He is in charge of the film project; and is based in Cardiff in South Wales, UK.
