HYBRID DOCUMENTARY SHORT

Blending personal interviews with dramatized genre recreations, The Script explores the complicated relationship between trans and nonbinary communities and medical providers around gender-affirming care. With a playful approach toward experimentation, the film examines the nature of performance and the limits of language and invites its participants and audience to envision a liberated, gender-expansive future beyond the injustices of the current moment.

The Script is part of the Queer Futures series. The film was co-directed by Brit Fryer and produced by Multitude Films with support from Chicken and Egg Pictures, the Ford Foundation, and The InMaat Foundation. The film can currently be seen online at The New Yorker and the Criterion Channel.

The film was shortlisted for the 2023 IDA Awards in the Best Short Form Category and the series was nominated in the Best Short Form Series category. The film won the 2024 SIMA Creative Activism Award.
