This film was made with a commitment to enabling, uplifting, and amplifying the voices of trans creatives both on and off screen. I believe it is crucial to provide a platform for their unique perspectives and talents, and I am honoured to have collaborated with such a gifted and dedicated team. It is only right for them to speak on behalf of the film. So the director's statement is written by the film's writer-producer and proud member of the trans community, Robin Wade -
Overtime is a film about the changing circumstances in which relationships are formed between people as more social interactions move into the digital space. More and more of our interactions are taking place online over phone calls, text messages and video chats and people need their online fallouts to be represented in film too.
There is also a point made about the confusing experience of discovering your sexuality in the increasingly isolated world we live in. I think it’s important to have people see queer stories that are messy as they better reflect the queer experience that the younger generation is going through today.
It’s very important to show stories about the consequences of digital interaction on relationships and I feel that while the film doesn’t centre the queerness of its characters that makes it more of an authentic representation of the conflicts that the modern queer youth go through.
It was essential for me as a trans person to involve trans people within the cast and crew without directly mentioning it in the film. It can be tough for trans voices within the film industry to be platformed for stories that don’t centre transness as many queer voices within the film are typecast into only acting in stories that directly centre their sexualities / gender.
I see our acceptance of these creatives within our production process as a great triumph and I’m very proud of the film that we have created together.
