Brother X

Short Film
2018
United States
A trans man, played by American trans male actor Elliot Fletcher, is misgendered and deadnamed by a sibling who is dealing with self-hatred and internalised bigotry.

Watch.


Available Summary:

"A young man's difficulty accepting his transgender brother leads him to confront the contradictions in his own identity. While he cannot bring himself to understand his new brother's experience, he himself spends his nights clubbing in Hollywood dressed as a woman. This semi-autobiographic film explores the depths of scrutiny, self conflict, and harsh judgment. It focuses on identity and the experience of cognitive dissonance." -Conner De Mita.


Note from Jack:

Provided you are prepared for misgendering, deadnaming, and physical violence, this is a really good short film. I very much enjoyed it.
