What starts as a close friendship blossoms into a life-changing romance for the teenager. Luca Guadagnino’s 2017 coming-of-age romantic drama, Call Me By Your Name, follows 17-year-old Elio Perlman (Timothée Chalamet) as he spends a summer with Oliver (Armie Hammer), a doctoral student working with his father in a small seaside Italian town. The 2019 comedy-drama series, Work in Progress, follows Abby (Abby McEnany) a self-described “fat, queer, dyke” as she battles her depression and obsessive compulsive disorder while also navigating a new relationship. Each documentary ranges anywhere from five to six minutes, with each having its own structure, tone, and message.
Released in 2015 in response to the successful Amazon original series, Transparent, This Is Me features a collection of short documentaries from five trans and gender-nonconforming filmmakers who touch on different aspects of their lives and personal journeys.
