For Coming Out Day, filmmakers Ian Scott McGregor and Will Mayo have released their award-winning trans-themed short film, First Night Out, online. It’s a real charmer and only a couple of minutes long, so it’s well worth a look.
In it, a trans woman is on her first night out in public, and has headed to a restaurant. She may be on her on, but it’s still an occasion she wants to mark for posterity.
It’s may only be short and the setup is pretty simple, but it’s a film with a surprising amount of ideas, from the fact that coming out is really more about becoming comfortable with yourself than it is about directly telling other people, to acknowledging that there are a variety of ways of being public about something.
Take a look at First Night Out below. If you know a short film we ought to be posting, tell us by getting in touch via our contact page. And check out more gay short films and web series here.
