Elliot Page is the executive producer of the Italian documentary, In My Name, which premieres in February at the Berlin International Film Festival. Nicolo Bassett’s film shows the transition path of 4 transgender men.
Elliot Page said that he decided to work on the project because he believes the film reflects well on the complexity of trans identity.
“What stands out to me about Nel Mio Nome is the way it so artfully and intentionally presents all the different pieces that make up a person’s identity. It’s a meditation on trans humanity, and I’ve never seen another film like it” – said Page.
The director of the film said that as a parent of a transgender teenager, he tried to have a relationship based on trust with the characters of the film and presented their emotional side, while Elliot Page made working on the film a more enjoyable experience by sharing personal experience and perspective.
