What's in a Name captures the journeys of three trans women as they champion the passage of HB252, an Illinois state bill eliminating name-change barriers for individuals with felony records. Set against the backdrop of their personal struggles and triumphs, the film unveils the profound impact of their advocacy.

PLEASE HELP US MAKE THIS IMPORTANT FILM COME TO LIFE!

After four years of filming, we're at the tail end of production and totally out of funds. We are thrilled to report that Eisha and Reyna were recently able to change their names, and WE WERE THERE TO COVER IT! But things happened fast and we weren't able to pause to wait for funding. 

We are raising money for two things:

• Final days of production—We have just a few more scenes to cover and we need to pay our amazing crew. 
• Demo reel—What's in a Name will be a unique and engaging film, and a demo reel enables us to demonstrate this to funders, which will unlock post-production funds. Help us level-up!

All contributions are tax-deductible!

All contributions are tax-deductible thanks to our fiscal sponsor, From The Heart Productions.
