BROTHERS is a critically acclaimed narrative short-form web series that follows a group of transgender male friends, exploring what it means to go up against traditional societal gender roles.  It’s he first narrative series about a group of trans male friends to not only feature the stories of transgender men, but also to cast trans actors in the main roles. With a predominantly queer, POC and trans cast & crew, we’re expanding the boundaries of traditional media and what stories are reflected on screen. The show touches on a few of the many issues that face transgender individuals – healthcare, dating, dysphoria, homophobia, identity and more.

In Season 1, (currently on Amazon Prime, Vimeo On Demand and Revry TV), the series’ main character Jack recently started sleeping with a cisgender man after exclusively dating women. His friend Davyn proposed to his long time girlfriend, Amy, with disastrous results. Aiden, the youngest of the group, pre-testosterone and pre-surgery, tried to raise money for his upcoming top surgery, but was thwarted at the last minute. And Max, the eldest, has been on hormones the longest, but hasn’t had the financial resources to obtain his top surgery.

In Season 2 Episode 2, it’s just another day in the life of a transman. Trevor and Len are getting into their groove, but with Trevor on hormones for egg harvesting, things are not as easy as they seem. A visit to the gynecologist makes Trevor question what he wants and who he wants it with. Jack is “going through some shit,” while trying to figure out his own sexuality. Max tries to make amends with Elsa. Season 2, Episode 2 will be available on March 1, 2018 at brothersseries.com and on Vimeo on Demand.
