I’M JUST ANNEKE (MTM10)
Directed and Produced by Jonathan Skurnik

Anneke is 12-year-old tomboy who loves ice hockey. Everybody she meets assumes she’s a boy. The onset of puberty has created an identity crisis for Anneke. Does she want to be a boy or a girl when she grows up, or something in between?

SLIP OF THE TONGUE (MTM6)
Directed by Karen Lum
Produced by Youth Sounds Factory

Using slam poetry as a soundtrack, Slip of the Tongue is adapted from a spoken word poem by Adriel Luis looking at perceptions of beauty, ethnicity, and body image.

I’M NOT A BOY (MTM7)
Directed by Julie Joyce
Produced by Listen Up! & Frame by Frame Fierce

Julie Joyce is not a boy. She is more than just an intense, fast-talking New York City sixteen-year-old. She’s a trans-gendered youth who wants what all young people want to be heard and to have a positive space to live and grow.
