NYC Premier: The Device That Turned Me Into A Cyborg Was Born The Same Year I Was
This film explores the nuances of life on a continuum between the Deaf and hearing world, oscillating between a daydream and nightmare as Man steps into his autonomy as a Deaf adult. We witness the constraints of machinery and how immobilizing it can be to live and breathe as a cyborg. At its core, this film is an anthem on self-love and exploration, paralleling the lessons that intimacy has granted its director and lead actor, Chella Man. “Growing up without representation, I never felt intimately desired. ... let alone beautiful in my trans, disabled, multiracial form. The liberating news is: I don’t need others to feel beautiful.” - Director, actor, writer, artist, Chella Man
