BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND
We are joined today by director Trevor Anderson to discuss his debut feature film BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND. The film takes on the complexity of the gender binary with the touching and retro story of young American androgynous teen Robin. Set to a killer 80s synth soundtrack, BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND illustrates the unthinkable lows one can travel to for the sake of acceptance.
