Imago

Justin, a gay, teenage boy in high school, decides he can no longer tolerate the anxiety and blows to his self-esteem caused by his emotionally abusive father simply because he does not fit into the image of the son he wants him to be. So he sends him an assertive yet eloquent and heartfelt email explaining why he no longer wants to have a relationship with him. Based on a true story and the actual email he sent, Justin's bravery in standing up to the ultimate bully, his own father, helped him gain the courage to transition into being a female a few years later. Now Jessie, she is a confident and happy 19-year-old college student who truly loves herself. (Outfest Los Angeles)
