One of the most refreshing, daring, and moving independent films of the past decade.
Los Angeles, Christmas Day. Sin-Dee Rella, a transgender sex worker, is released from jail after a month and discovers that her boyfriend and pimp, Chester, has been cheating on her with a cisgender woman. Together with her best friend Alexandra, she sets out on a wild journey through the streets of Hollywood to find the betrayer and confront him.
The film captures one chaotic, colorful day filled with motion, music, and humor, while revealing the lives of trans women on the margins of American society with rare sensitivity, warmth, and humanity.
Shot entirely on an iPhone 5s using simple anamorphic lenses, mostly in natural light, on the streets of Los Angeles, and featuring real members of the transgender community. Its cinematic language blends documentary energy with the rhythm of a music video and a vibrant mix of electronic and Middle Eastern sounds that bring the city to life.
