America in Transition (AIT) is a documentary series exploring relationships, community, and social issues with BIPOC trans folks. Join us as we travel across the US to capture real life for an immigrant building a trans utopia in the desert, a sexual assault survivor living with HIV, and a model navigating family life. AIT premiered at Outfest Fusion before being released as a digital series on social media in 2018 and then the full-length series on Revry in 2019.

Community Engagement

Making social impact is not just about storytelling—it’s also about sharing space and changing the conversation, so we started a speaker’s bureau. By teaming up with trans speakers who are nationally recognized activists and experts in their fields, we offer programming—keynotes, trainings, presentations, and more.

Our goal is to progress conversations about trans issues, especially in places where trans folks feel uncomfortable speaking out. We use short films as a jumping-off point to build community, create dialogue, and activate accomplices. We’ve hosted over 100 events and worked with more than 85 universities, community groups, and cultural institutions,tutions such as Allied Media Conference, Creating Change, and MIT Allied Media Conference, MIT, and Creating Change.
