Vera Drew leads trans and nonbinary filmmakers building new industry outside studios

A wave of trans and nonbinary filmmakers is forging a new path by creating their own work outside the traditional studio system, per Variety. For director Vera Drew, the deeply personal superhero parody 'The People's Joker' was a leap of faith.

The outlet reports that meeting a trans person who connected with her film was a 'mindblowing' moment. These creators say they are actively building a new industry where they have control over their own stories.
