“Transenders”
A CURATOR Pictures film presented by Nike SB in association with Skate Like A Girl.

Director Diane Russo Cheng presents an intimate look into Skate Like A Girl, a nonprofit skateboarding organization, through the personal perspective of Alexa, a trans woman skateboarder and mentor.

“In its 22-year existence, Skate Like a Girl has utilized skateboarding as a vehicle to promote confidence, leadership, and social justice, creating space for stories like Alexa's and countless others. The parallels between the work this organization has been doing for decades and the accomplishments of non-traditional skaters are boundless and timeless.” – Kristin Ebeling, Executive Director, Skate Like a Girl

As a queer female director, Russo Cheng brings a deeply empathetic and powerfully honest approach to the film that is visually breathtaking and emotionally impactful.

CURATOR Pictures is a female-led production and creative agency with a diversity and inclusion focus.

“Our mission is to tell authentic and empathetic stories while expanding and growing opportunities for underrepresented creative and production talent within our industry” – Hayley Young, Executive Producer, CURATOR Pictures

“Transenders” was produced, directed, shot, edited, with final color and original music by an all-female and/or queer creative lead team.

Filmed in Seattle, Washington
