“The Girls,” directed by Krista Michaels and co-written by Michaels, Brandy Bryant, and Jessica D’Amelio, promises to be a groundbreaking project that pushes boundaries within the genre.

Director Krista Michaels expressed her excitement about the film, stating, “There weren’t many trans-led films, in general, much less horror films that we could grow our inspiration from, nor characters to aspire to. We hope to put together a team of fantastic women for the crew to fulfill our dreams of delivering a great time at the movies!”
“The Girls” aims to address the trials, tribulations, and bigotry faced by individuals from the transgender community while showcasing their resilience. The film has already secured Ryder Avalon for a leading role, portraying Pixie.
