9 Years Without You

About The Project

The right to define ourselves and live how we choose is supported by numerous United Nations decrees, yet in reality our right to the pursuit of happiness is limited by those who want us to conform to rigid sex stereotypes.

My dream as a filmmaker has always been to write and direct films that touch lives. Writing about controversial subjects such as trangenderism, can help educate the community and teach others that even though we have different beliefs, lifestyles and sexual preferences we are still humans and we all have the right to be happy and be respected.

I wrote 9 Years Without You with the idea that through the art of filmmaking I could educate, raise eyebrows, make people curious on the subject of sexuality and sexual identity and have the audience connect with the story and the characters no matter where they come from. As human beings we all have been hurt, rejected and mistreated but we have also been loved, taken care of and at the end of the day all we really want is to be accepted, respected and loved without being judged. Throughout the film we explore the subjects of love, family, acceptance, tolerance, identity and forgiveness.
