About this project

Their cause

Indulgence is a short film about a Burmese American transgender woman being mistreated by her undocumented boyfriend. She tries to get away from her toxic love even thought she has been alone for many years. This is the true story from our lead actress and producer, Chrissy, who had a broken relationship with her ex. She finally learns to be independent and loves herself more thought the journey, thus she wants to tell all the transgender and women to be as brave as she did. As an Asian gay writer director, I know that the transgender roles in the movie industry or mainstream TVs are still very rare and limited nowadays. Being one of the very few Asian American transgender actresses, Chrissy is not limited by how she was taught while growing up in a conservative country. I’m so touched that she takes the lead of her life to pursue her dream in becoming an actress in Los Angeles and is willing to share her true story with others, in hope to put her community on the map and help more woman like her.

What is Space for Change?

Peerspace is on a mission to bring people together. We believe it is impossible to achieve that goal unless we also fight for equality and access to resources in the communities we serve.

Having a space to gather, create, and exchange ideas is an important part of any movement. In order to magnify voices that are often quieted, Peerspace will sponsor venues for people who challenge prejudice and fight for social justice and equality.

Each quarter, we will sponsor space for three projects that are relevant to our community. These projects can range from fundraisers and educational initiatives to art exhibits and photo series.
