    This website obviously houses stills and previews to the film but it is also much more than that. This film was made to be a resource for young trans kids so why wouldn't our website be that as well? Below you will find links to trans youth groups, free binders and organizations to support. Also, we included resources for trans-allies to learn. Thank you for supporting trans films.

    Director & Cast

    Non-binary artists, writers, directors Aidan Dick and Izzi Rojas wrote, produced, directed and, starred in When Men Were Men. They wanted to subvert the hetero-normative narratives Hollywood has been churning out since it's inception. It was integral for them to create their own space in which to create this film. "It doesn't start with a call for revolution, but with the realization are the revolution that is already taking place." Paul Precaido

    Our extremely talented composer, Victoria Romano is doing us the honor of focusing her ethnomusicology doctoral thesis on When Men Were Men.
    "This featurette discusses some of the key themes and issues at the heart of When Men Were Men. It includes conversations with LGBTQ+ filmmakers and scholars, addressing the triumphs, setbacks, and overall politics of queer representation, both in front of and behind the camera." - Victoria
