Half Naked: A Trans Filmmaker’s Bold Vision | Winnipeg News

Filmmaker Ande Brown, who transitioned later in life, is premiering his raw, powerful new short film “Half Naked” at the Gimli International Film Festival — a bold exploration of trans visibility, dysmorphia, and everyday vulnerability. Drawing from his own anxieties about public toplessness, Brown uses his personal journey to challenge stigma and normalize trans existence. Inspired by Winnipeg’s artistic community and funded through RBC’s Emerging Filmmaker Pitch, the film stars Bells Larsen — whose music resonated deeply with Brown’s transition — and features a unionized crew and professional cast. “Half Naked” isn’t just a story; it’s an invitation to see trans people living authentically, unapologetically, and unafraid.
