Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

This 16-minute short was made on a shoestring budget but packed with more queer talent than most studio films of its era. Willam Belli reportedly improvised half their lines.

Cultural

Released in 2008, it predated mainstream trans representation in comedy by nearly a decade — existing in that wild west of queer indie cinema before Pose and Disclosure changed the landscape.
