Director Statement
Based on a true fight that my partner and I had in a hotel hallway, Grindr Baby is the messy trans representation I am starved for. Shot handheld and docu-style, I wanted to feel like we were privy to the internal lives of a queer couple discussing a potential issue that might be controversial to the outside world. As a trans non-binary person myself, Grindr Baby comes straight from my queer little life, where the arguments are so much funnier and more bizarre than the movies make it seem.
