Gender-Fication is a documentary about Black, Indigenous, Queer and Trans communities living in the Pacific Northwest and the struggles they face on a daily basis.
The LGBTQ2IA+ community has always been seeking true liberation yet battling for a further understanding of their many differences.
As an underrepresented community, it’s time that their voices are heard.
There are many identities within the queer community and our friends were kind enough to share their experiences with us.
This is an intimate walk along the path of their journeys.

MATTER
Inspired by recent (and not so recent) events, Matter follows the quest of one young Black man looking to find answers to police brutality and gun violence. Determined to save Black lives, he seeks to sort out the noise of opposing viewpoints and social division with a methodical examination of facts. As his theatrical investigation uncovers patterns of senseless violence and clues lead him to the likelihood of his own death, the reality and tragedy of lives lost begins to truly hit home.
