Something You Said Last Night Cast and Director Discuss Crafting an Authentic Trans Film | TIFF
Sep 16 2022
First-time director Luis De Filippis aimed to shirk transgender film clichés with their TIFF debut Something You Said Last Night. With a cast and crew of transgender women, they came to the festival with the goal of telling a more authentic and heartwarming story about a woman stuck on a vacation with their family at a conservative beach town. Filippis also found a newcomer trans star Carmen Madonia to lead the film opposite Paige Madison Evans, a decision that added to the film's uniquely trans presence. Together, the trio sat down Collider's Steve Weintraub at the Collider Supper Suite and Media Studio at Marbl to dive into the ins and outs of crafting a relatable trans film.
