Taking pages from the absurdism of Jean Genet, the Beat ethos of Jack Kerouac, and the independent spirit of John Cassavetes, Harry Dodge and Silas Howard describe their directorial debut as a "butch and trans buddy film." The story follows Shy (Howard) and Valentine (Dodge), two gender outlaws living by any means necessary in San Francisco during the Bush years—when violence and isolation are around every corner, even in the supposed queer mecca of the United States. This inventive, energetic, shot-on-video road movie is teeming with playful scenarios, pathos, and humanity. The film screened at festivals worldwide and won numerous awards including the Audience and Best Screenplay awards at Outfest.
