Becoming a Man in 127 EASY Steps

Becoming A Man in 127 EASY Steps is a collection of 127 stories comprising one epic becoming - pre-, during, and post-gender transition. Stories of love. Honest dialogue about poor choices and their consequences. Gut-splittingly funny stories of a feminist who lives in a white man's body. Revelations earned by walking through fire. Wry, personal and relatable social insight gained from nearly 20 years of living a publicly transgender life. In a culture fascinated with gender difference that is focused exclusively on trans women - in a media landscape that has so far only produced tropes about transition and turmoil - these stories offer audiences the rare opportunity to see the unseen, to hear the unheard, and to know the unknown. This genre-bending anthology feature will include creator/actor Scott Turner Schofield's performance in front of an audience, as well as interpretive vignettes of the most memorable of the 127 EASY steps.

Mockumentary and documentary footage, and experimental film techniques will make each step have its own look and feel within a cohesive frame, like a curated gallery of collected works that may be viewed as separate short films, in any order, or as a cohesive whole. Some steps will be filmed expansively and luxuriously. Some will be abstract. Some will be uncomfortably intimate. Some will be spare. Some will be raucous or joyous. Some will reflect deep sorrow and pain. Every scene and every frame will transport audiences each step of the way, through the dizzying range of emotions and experiences that can only come from Scott's unique yet universal journey to his truth.
