Description

Through a collection of video diary entries spanning more than a year, PRONOUNS IN BIO delivers an offbeat and charming reflection on transness and identity. Part documentary, part video essay, and part musical, the film follows director and star Frankie Shaftain-Fenner, a recently out transgender, autistic woman, as she navigates the first year of her transition. Frankie’s story is personal and unique to her own experience, while reflecting many of the seemingly universal experiences of the broader trans community, including mental health and medical gatekeeping. Utilizing direct-to-camera monologues mixed with an original soundtrack written and performed by Frankie herself, PRONOUNS IN BIO creates an intimate portrait about discovering your authentic identity and the fight to be recognized as your true self.
