Girls, it’s true. I’m directing my very first short film, SUPERFAKE, written and starring @aphroditearmstrongand we need your help!!!

SUPERFAKE is a gritty, sun-soaked comedy about a trans woman who discovers her boyfriend, and the designer bag he gave her - might be fake. This film humanizes trans women through humor, with a premise everyone can relate to - the search for something real in a world obsessed with appearances.

From moment I met Aphrodite—actually from the moment I watched her self tape for Ponyboi (y’all may remember her as Gina the meth-head girl who ODs lmaooo) I immediately knew THIS IS GIRL IS A STAR. She is quite possibly the funniest person I know and her talent as an actress makes her a legend in the making. It is an honor to be directing my sister’s very first short and make my solo-direct debut in the process. Two girls and one… DREAM 😏

Thanks to @neonrated, @futureoffilmisfemale, and Plattinum Productions, over two thirds of the way to being fully funded - and we’re looking to you to close that gap, and ensure the completion of our film.

Your pledges will go to securing locations, a great camera package, post-production, and festival submissions. Our plan is for a three day shoot in January 2026, in Los Angeles.

This film means the world to me to be able to continue telling boundary pushing trans stories. So often, trans stories are neglected on screen - a pledge to our campaign is a commitment to making a doll’s dreams come true. The link to our Seed and Spark campaign is in my bio. Every single dollar, share, or view is deeply appreciated from the bottom of my heart. Follow us on insta @superfakefilm and check out our Seed and Spark page for more information about our team including superstar producers @trevorwall2 @constanzacastro @peppermint_pattie @yuqstudios @betti_with_an_i @callafaeria

This holiday season, help fund a film by the dolls, for the dolls!! All I want for Christmas is to make a movie!

(shout out to DP @grant.kaufman for shooting this with us!!!)

River Gallo and Indya Moore spar over the differences and similarities of the trans and intersex experience in the neo-noir intersex coming of age story, PONYBOI.

Unfolding over the course of Valentine’s Day in New Jersey, a young intersex sex worker named Ponyboi (played by River Gallo who also wrote and produced the film) must run from the mob after a drug deal goes sideways. With the mob closing in and time running out, Ponyboi risks everything for one last chance at getting their life-affirming hormones before fleeing town. In this pivotal scene, Ponyboi comes face-to-face with Charlie — a formidable trans cabaret owner who supplies hormones to her community and also happens to be his former rival. Tensions simmer and histories collide. Just when it seems like the past might sabotage the present, Charlie offers something that nobody else in the film has: grace. What follows is arguably the film’s most powerful scene — a moment that shifts everything.

“I can confidently say this is the first time a scene [where] an intersex person — and maybe trans-questioning person — and a trans woman are talking to each other about the differences and similarities of their experience. This is the first time that’s ever happened in cinema,” said Gallo at the films 2024 premier at The Sundance Film Festival.

The film is now available for rent on @gathr using this link: https://gathr.com/vod/a4456473/ponyboi

The film is also showing in New York at LOOK Dine-In Cinemas W57 on 7/22 and 7/23
