Vessel For My Heart

In Memory of Christien Rodriguez

It is with a heavy heart that we honor the life and passing of Christien Rodriguez, a remarkable human being who was a part of this film, as well as many other projects created with the hopes of promoting education and awareness about queer and trans* folks in our societies. 

His time on this planet may have been short, but it is without a doubt that he left a lasting impression.
