Paradise (2026)

Cultivating both land and identity sits at the center of Paradise, an intimate documentary following a transgender cultivator whose profound relationship with the wild serves as a compass for self-discovery. Captured entirely on vintage 16mm film and elevated by bespoke hand-painted sequences, this boundary-pushing hybrid work merges live-action cinematography with lyrical illustration to honor the invisible bonds tying ecological awareness, queer identity, and creative vision together. By braiding individual lived experiences into wider environmental cycles, the film delivers a softly rendered story of personal evolution, quiet perseverance, and continual renewal.
