CGiii Comment

Oh dear...there are those that were not put on this planet to act.

Here they are.

The writing is weak...just because you think you have a story to tell doesn't necessarily mean that you have to tell that story yourself...give it to people who can...collaborate.

The(ir) Blurb...

XWHY is the first film from writer/director/actor Jake Graf. Shot over two years, this film accurately reflects some of the natural changes, both physical and emotional, that a young transman undergoes during transition. XWHY is a groundbreaking look at some of the trials and tribulations that trans people face both pre, and post transition, told in a light hearted, often humorous manner.
