FROM THE DIRECTOR

As a queer + trans director, I’ve approached INTERMEDIACY with care, assembling an all-LGBTQIA+ cast and majority-queer crew. My journey seeking gender-affirming surgery via insurance led me to Hirschfeld’s story, which became a lifeline as I was buried in medical paperwork and self-doubt. This film was born from the hope that this story might offer others the same strength and clarity. INTERMEDIACY blends academic rigor with emotional depth and aesthetic flair – combining 1920’s Bauhaus with queer maximalism. With strong connections to Berlin’s queer social and academic communities, and a commitment to honoring both history and folks’ lived experience, my team and I are uniquely positioned to bring this timely story to life with creativity and integrity as a beacon of perspective and resilience for others.
