MAN LESSONS is a documentary film 6 years in the making, de-constructing the construction of one prominent transgender New Zealand actor.
Adam Rohe takes us on a raucous journey to the basement of his mind, and lets us watch the creation of his most earnest and intimate artistic performance: HIMSELF!
Archival footage and theatrical narration will blend to tell the story of a deeply personal gender transition and the relationships that ‘made the man,’ including a very special friendship with the film’s director, Ben Sarten.
It's your garden-variety trans story, framed like a rom-com, narrated by a professional clown, the likes of which you have never seen.
Stay tuned for updates.
