Their credits include films premiering at Sundance Film Festival, HOT DOCS, AFI DOC Festival, and streaming on HBO, Peacock, and Amazon. Syd is also very passionate about advocating for the visibility of the Trans and LGBQ+ community, as well as illuminating the injustices in the food and mental health systems here in the US.
