Our Work
At TransAct Entertainment, we are in various stages of development on three exciting upcoming productions and one that is currently in distribution. Each of these projects highlights queer people of color, giving a spotlight to their unique stories and experiences. Our focus is on creating films and series that portray trans and gender non-conforming individuals as loved, supported, and celebrated. By centering the voices and lives of people of color, we aim to bring underrepresented narratives to the forefront.
