Howard J. Davis (aka Haui); 2021; Canada; 76 min.
What does it mean to be mixed in a world of binaries? This compelling documentary follows Howard J. Davis (aka Haui) as he talks about the isolation of growing up “mixed up” in a world constructed around race, gender, and sexuality. Co-produced by trans filmmaker and producer Jack Fox, this insightful and celebratory film examines his origins and creative journey through interviews with his biological and chosen families (including actor Tantoo Cardinal and other artists and musicians). As Haui says, “I am Black, I am white, I am queer, I am here.”
