Laundromats, subway turnstiles, and airport transfers are the hectic background to this emotional drama that overlaps past, present, and future.
Mutt is a poignant indie drama set over a single day in New York City as Feña, a young trans man portrayed by Lío Mehiel, navigates unexpected reunions with his estranged father, his straight ex-boyfriend, and his younger half-sister. These encounters compel Feña to confront the complexities of his relationships and identity post-transition. [87 min; drama; English and Spanish with English subtitles]
"An excellent feature debut that left me reeling." — Rosalie Kicks, MovieJawn
"One of the best films about post-transition adjustment." — Leslie Felperin, The Hollywood Reporter
"It’s... squarely openhearted in depicting what the freshly transitioned must navigate just to be (and explain) themselves, when all anyone else can seem to latch on to is the narrative of change they experience." — Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
