I’m not even sure I believe in love at first sight but every time I watch “Imagine Me & You” — I really, really want to.
Sam Feder’s remarkable new documentary “Disclosure: Trans Lives on Screen” is only the beginning of our story. Even more trans artists are forging their own paths with these indies and web series.
If love is going to exist — which, ugh, I guess it does — then it’s going to exist within the messiness of our lives. It’s going to exist alongside our families and our cultures and our hopes and our fears. It’s going to be hard and it’s going to take risk.

Yes, this is a coming-of-age lesbian teen romcom by the director of Saving Face, and, yes, I did cry tears of joy in the first minute of the trailer.
It will make you laugh and swoon, I promise. (There’s a surprise therapist I won’t spoil for you, but you’ll love that too.)
