LOGLINE: “A Wedding to Diego” is a queer romantic dramedy short film about Lena, a nonbinary writer, and Diego, a trans-masc painter. The Latine couple, engaged to be married, host opposing bachelorx celebrations which highlight their different personalities. The story puts a queer spin on classic wedding and bachelor(ette) films.
DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT: I’m a nonbinary, Austrian, Mexican, and Native American filmmaker. This film is a passionate project I have been growing for several years. One of the main goals with this film is to increase representation of nonbinary and transgender people of color. Our film shows complex transgender and nonbinary characters as well as the intricate details of their relationships. - Miracle Valenzuela Everett
