Filmography
  • Digital illustration of a prom night stage with a full moon behind the film title. The main character Artie, an olive skintone, brown-haired transmasc teen is in the centre of the horror drama poster appearing to metamorphosize with werewolf elements of fangs, red eyes and long sharp dark fingernails. Blood drips down their hands and onto their light blue tuxedo and face. In the background are two characters on the left and right of Artie; to the left is a feminine-presenting teen wearing prom attire and holding photographs, and on the right is a Black woman teacher chaperone holding a microphone while looking at Artie.
