Working With Mermaids, the UK's leading Trans Youth Charity
From idea conception to post-production, we worked with Mermaids, who consulted on the story, script, edit and casting. Mermaids helped us ensure the casting was trans inclusive, and that the story portrayed the film's transgender character's experience in a truthful and positive way.
