Chicahua (they/them/elle) is a Trans Non-Binary, Xicané/Muxe, polymath Performing Artist and Writer born and raised in Sanger, California. They attended AMDA in NYC & LA, where they completed their BFA in Performing Arts. They continued to pursue their education at The New School of Drama, where they will achieve an MFA in Contemporary Theatre & Performance & a Minor in Transmedia & Digital Storytelling this upcoming May. This is their first short film, a personal and close experience for them. This film focuses on how we can question and change our views of people who are different from us but are ultimately interconnected somehow. They would love to thank their family (chosen and blood), their lovers (past, current, & future), & everyone in front and behind the camera who made this project happen.
