Synopsis

Media about transgender and gender diverse people often depicts the harsh realities of a world that excludes those who do not fit gender norms. These stories raise awareness but do not support youth to see a viable future for themselves and reinforce a public belief that trans kids have no future. But by working with trans and gender diverse youth in virtual reality to design creative representations of their ideal futures, these youth show us that another world is possible. Our linear story captures the youth designing their worlds and voicing their visions, and combines shots of real life and virtual environments to blend the boundaries in between. Our immersive story transports viewers inside the virtual art to experience the youth's creative futures and to hear their story.
