BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND
Trevor Anderson; 2022; Canada; 89 min.
It’s 1987 and Robin (played by non-binary actor Vaughan Murrae) is an American transplant at a high school in Canada. The other students wonder if Robin is a boy or a girl, but Robin is just Robin, a kid who desperately wants to fit in doing everything they can in order to be liked. And forging a friendship with the school bully creates a whole new set of problems. Between rehearsing for the school musical, having new crushes, forming unlikely alliances, and experiencing family drama, Robin must make some pretty hard decisions about what they will ultimately do to fit in. This unique coming of age story from Alumni filmmaker of SQFF, Trevor Anderson (DOCKING, JESSE JAMS) won the Boccalino d’Oro (Golden Jug) Award 2022 at the Locarno Film Festival along with Best Acting performance for Vaughan Murrae.
