CGiii Comment

It's a strange project - the whole cast are Trans...playing non-Trans characters...

The question is: Why?

Unfortunately, the acting and writing are truly horrific...an ambitious project that backfired.

The(ir) Blurb...

A pregnant sociopath compulsively values thinness over caring for her young daughter and unborn child. The director cast the ENTIRE ensemble with transgender actors (men, woman & children) portraying NON-transgender characters; with hopes of expanding acting opportunities for trans-people. This is the first time trans-actors have played such roles. Cast includes 9 year old transgender-girl Miss Jazz, who was featured in a Barbara Walters 20/20 special; notable model Miss Isis King, who was discovered by Tyra Banks Americas Top Model, and many other talented transgender actors.
