Trying to get your indie film made, but don't know where to start? Producer AJ Mattioli has been funding, producing, and distributing queer films for over a decade, and he's here to walk you through what it actually takes to bring a project to life.

AJ is a veteran indie producer who's worked across the full spectrum of queer filmmaking, handling development, financing, and post-production. He also runs a queer distribution company, getting films onto platforms like TLA, Dekkoo, and Here TV. In this episode, he breaks down the realities of indie film production, how to navigate limited budgets, and what distribution options exist once your film is finished.

He also tackles why trans men are still stuck as side characters in mainstream projects, what needs to shift for trans masc characters to take center stage, and handling the negativity that comes with making trans and queer content.

Learn what it takes to succeed in queer indie filmmaking. Listen now.

This three-part holiday special brings warmth, tears, and some trans holiday movies! Avi and Yas start with artist and activist Mars from Transanta to talk about mutual aid, community care, and punking the holiday season. Plus, they read some letters trans youth sent in. (Prepare the tissues!) Learn more at www.transsanta.com.

Finally, the hosts take on the holiday movie industry. The holiday movie industry makes hundreds of millions of dollars. But the trans masculine representation is seriously lacking, which means the paycheck is, too. Avi and Yas talk about the few trans movies that exist, the tropes that need a rewrite, and the trans masc holiday movies they want to see.

Grab a cup of cocoa and get cozy with a holiday special that’s all trans.

The ultimate multi-hyphante, Maze Felix, joins In Full View to talk about trans masculine visibility, creative embodiment, and finding euphoria through movement. A non-binary, transmasculine, Chinese adoptee advocate, Maze gets into how to craft your character without losing your intersectional identities, building your mental health toolkit, and leading your entertainment with joy.

They open up about getting cast as teenage boys in their 30s, being misgendered on set, and how art and advocacy work together.

This episode is for the trans artists, the dancers, the dreamers, and anyone learning to move through the world in full view.
