Frankie, a non-binary trans person, crashes their ex-partner’s men-only 12 step meeting, determined to be heard… no matter the cost.
Filmed in New York City, Red Seed Films’ debut short—Frankie—is a raw and resonant tale of the universal struggle for acceptance. The creative team behind the film hopes it will inspire folks to reexamine the connections between gender, masculinity, trauma, and recovery. A story about the need to be seen on one’s own terms, Frankie centers around a non-binary, trans person mere days after coming out. In a room where men talk about their feelings, this film shifts the question from “How are we different?” to “What makes us the same?”
