Have some dignity!

Who wants to watch a trans*man masturbate? Not us!

Apart from the gross indecency...a totally soporific film.

The(ir) Blurb...

Still photographs of desert landscapes and trans bodies interact in this essay film to tell a story of isolation, intimacy, and trauma within an American trans masculine community of the early 2000's. Beside the water, proposes an alternative mode of retrieving and disseminating a trans past through familial relations and the erotic. Piecing together evidences of a past via an individuals mementos, this work places trans sexual experiences in conversation with a non-linear idea of history, that is both real and fabricated, defiantly looking towards a future of pleasure, beauty, sincerity, and fantasy.
