We will close the event with joy while watching "Comin' in hot" by @adrianavecc 💥 Behind the wheel of a sleek Thunderbird, a bored housewife’s lust for adventure leads her to an unexpected oasis where passion and suds run rampant…
Adriana Vecchioli is a French-Italian filmmaker who is a rare combination of fierce and cute. Sick and tired of those high-calorie, low-nutrition Hollywood movies, she sets out to tell this story with an unconventional approach to female sexuality… to push boundaries, challenge the norms and play with the strange and unexpected.

Clocked is looking to show the queer community and younger generations that their stories are cherished and important. Throughout this film, we are able to witness all the hard work and trauma Seven has gone through to become the person we see now. This film is meant to inspire our fellow trans boys and to give them the spotlight they deserve on the big screen. Seven is the character we wish we’d been able to see when we both started coming to terms with our identities and that’s why we chose him to tell this story.
Deeply committed to this project, Alyesha aims to amplify the voices of underrepresented communities. During their early years in Los Angeles, they were welcomed by the queer community, which has since become a significant part of their life. Alyesdha focuses on the FTM experience stems from a recognition that discussions surrounding male transgender individuals are often less prominent than those
concerning female transgender individuals, and they hope to address the discrimination they face. This film is dedicated to all who feel voiceless, and Alyesha would like to honor their best friend, who is currently one month into their transition.

About @dorian.shine : Back in Buenos Aires, at the crossroads of their immigrant and art journey, a raw truth about human nature struck the maker as they questioned their identity.

Connecting with women from various walks of life etched a powerful truth: being a woman transcends borders, and our shared humanity speaks a language without translation.
