The launch of the Beyond the Blue Light campaign aligned perfectly with T4T wrestling and I had the wonderful opportunity of asking these fine trans folks what trans stories & community means to them. Please support this wonderful and needed trans film by clicking the link in my bio and sharing our campaign! 🫶🏼❤️

i found out about @stanforcreators while away from home with none of my equipment. but i figured there’s no better place to #StanDaretoDream26 than at @sundanceorg where dreams are always coming true. i live my life with proud vulnerability and resilience in the continual pursuit of my passion and because of that, i know my dreams are coming true. wanna come along for the ride? #DaretoDream #Filmmaking #Sundance #Authenticity
i love filmmaking. i love the storytelling, the creativity, the community, the inspiration, the potential to change minds and hearts, even the networking! i love it a lot and am so grateful it’s what i get to do. hope to do it forever and in bigger & bolder ways ❤️🎥 #sundance #sundance2026 #thelastdance
My face in the first pic says it all! I am still reeling from an incredible production this past Sat-Tues and now I can announce Beyond the Blue Light is wrapped and headed into post. I am so grateful for this incredible team that turned a highly ambitious project into a reality. Every single person on our amazing bipoc and queer crew stepped up, listened, communicated, and created something special. What an amazing cast and crew. What an amazing shoot. I am so happy to be one step closer to getting this trans Latinx story out into the world. Thank you to everyone who supported this short film from the outside as well! More to come soon 🫶🏼
