In Full Bloom: Transcending Gender

This feature-length documentary follows the courageous journey of thirteen transgender and two gay actors as they examine their lives through the use of monologue, dialogue, and performance art while preparing for the world premiere of the stage play Lovely Bouquet of Flowers: An Exploration of Non-Traditional Gender Voices. Behind-the-scenes and onstage footage are interwoven with compelling interviews from the cast; dealing with family, discrimination, coming out, surgery, and the complexities of sexual identity and orientation-yet in the face of complex topics, the film retains a lighthearted touch. By sharing their own journeys, the actors transcend transgender by speaking to issues such as relationships, careers, and spirituality.
