About the Project

Writing has always been escapism for me, I get lost in imagination when I can't explain or understand reality, and that was no different when it came to understanding myself.

I wrote Who Am I Now? to work through a very challenging time in my life. The struggle with one’s identity is a common fear and a common experience but during the time that I was writing this script, I felt like I was the only person in the world who was going through this. I struggled with my sexuality and with who I was for years.

I created Alex and Erin as a way to channel my feelings, and they walked me through my struggles, and they taught me that things get better. When I began painting a picture of a positive outcome for these characters and when I started believing it to be true, it became so for me.

These characters were going through the same confusion and questioning that I was. Falling in love with someone and feeling wrong about it. Unsure of what you were supposed to do. Not knowing who you were supposed to be. And I believe we are constantly evolving and learning new things about ourselves - so this story is about “who am I now” in this moment, in this experience. Figuring it out, one step at a time.

Alex and Erin began from a place of darkness and sadness, and evolved into a source of hope and that is why I needed to make this film, because I know my experience isn’t unique. I know there are thousands of people who struggle with their identity everyday and I know they feel alone. I want them to know that they aren’t alone, and that who they are is okay. The thing that is not okay, is that they have nowhere to see that. I want to help increase LGBTQ+ representation in the media in hopes that my story can inspire at least one person.

I may not be the only person in the world capable of sharing this type of story, but I am the only one capable of sharing my story. I know the ins and outs of these characters, and the ins and outs of the self-doubt and fear that comes along with deciding to come out. The LGBTQ+ community is not appropriately represented in the media and I believe that this film will resonate with members of the community and they will be able to see themselves accurately portrayed due to my experiences. It took me 13 years to finally be in the right frame of mind to share this story and the team who are helping me are passionate and dedicated filmmakers ready to move this project forward and have it seen.

All donations received will be going directly to the creation of this film.
