Enjoy this scene from my short film Lovin’ Her, it’s one of my absolute favorites. It’s a heartfelt moment where two beautiful trans elders share a tender dance to legendary trans soulstress, Jackie Shane’s iconic “Raindrops.” It’s a special celebration of love and connection that makes this scene feel all the more special. 💖
