22 crew members, 25 speaking roles, 40+ extras, 377 Indiegogo backers and LOTS of additional help and support along the way. I can not say THANK YOU enough to every beautiful human who had a hand in making this dream a reality. We wrapped production today after 11 intense days of filming. The on-set experience was something so beautiful and full of love, my heart is bursting just thinking about it. Can't wait to dive into post-production! More updates will come soon. For now, enjoy these adorable behind-the-scenes photos. THESE THEMS will be directed and by Jett Garrison and we could not be more thrilled! Jett is a trans identified director, writer, and producer whose films have played in over one hundred film festivals worldwide. Awards include a College Television Award (Emmy) and he is currently working on NBC's "This is Us."
Serena Kuo will be Director of Photography for the show. Her work has been shown at over 50 film festivals, including Sundance and SXSW. She is incredible at what she does and we are so excited to have her on board! Our Producer for the shoot is Sophia Clark. Sophia works as an Associate and Field Producer for Channel 21 WLIW under the WNET New York Public Media umbrella, as well as the series Producer for the Giving Me Life webseries. She is MAKING These Thems happen. Other additions to the team include Rhiannon Collins as Assistant Director and Keti Chichinadze as Production Designer.
