I’m a Person, I Promise


I’m a Person I Promise is a short dance film exploring the visibility of identity through the lens of trans and disabled experience. This abstract film follows dancer, Casey Hall-Landers, wearing a patchwork of past and present clothes tied to their gender presentation. As they dance with their coffee date, Forest Lee, paint streaks across their skin and bleeds through the surface of the patchwork. Attempts to stay within the intimacy of the dance and participate in the seemingly normal activities of the coffee date give way and Casey must uncover what they try to hide alone.
