Trans Day of Visibility is just that: a single day. Now one group is working to make the trans community more visible than ever. The Trans On Film festival is coming to Wilton Manors and Los Angeles in March 2027.
Many of us have seen at least one gay or straight rom-com, in which the nebbish-y lead character, played by the movie’s writer/director, ends up making out (or more) with another hot lead character. In a way, that’s the fantasy part of actor/writer/director Matt Shear’s “Fantasy Life” (Greenwich Entertainment).

The loss of the late Oscar-winning fashion icon Diane Keaton in October 2025 was an immeasurable one.
