Identity Crisis is an experimental animated short completed at American University in 2021 as my senior thesis film. Drawing from personal experiences, I showcase the exploration of my gender identity as a queer artist. I turned to my love for animation and cartoons as I struggled to understand myself and the world around me. Scroll down to watch the film and learn about the production.
