PAGEANTS WERE JUST THE SURFACE.

Hazel Monroe, a trans pageant queen finds herself back in the spotlight to reclaim the space she once fled. But as the pressure mounts, her surreal visions blur her reality, forcing her to confront the self-doubt that shadows her womanhood.

Director’s Statement

“The media we commonly see in relation to trans people always has an asset of focusing on their physical transition- but what's often overlooked is the constant self-monitoring that we do as trans people and the daily performance of gender and identity for the rest of the world. There's an in-between that exists for so many of us, and it isn't glamorous, nor is it linear. It's fragile, it's funny, awkward, and sometimes grotesque. That in-between is what I strive to capture with Fishy. The strange space that trans people often navigate that isn't about a before-and-after, but the during.”
