Fireboys
Feature, Released
Chuy and Alex are two young men incarcerated in California, each facing long sentences with little hope for redemption. When they are offered a way out—an opportunity to leave their cells and join an elite team of inmates fighting wildfires—they seize it, seeing a chance to prove themselves and reclaim a sense of purpose.
Immersive and deeply personal, this coming-of-age story follows their journey as they navigate the grueling physical and emotional demands of battling some of the most dangerous blazes in the country. At once hopeful and harrowing, their story examines a controversial correctional program that offers the promise of transformation while exposing the harsh realities and hidden costs of a system that exploits those it claims to rehabilitate.

What Will I
Become?
Feature, Post-Production
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, more than 50% of transgender boys have attempted suicide.
In What Will I Become?, directors Lexie Bean and Logan Rozos explore the vulnerability of their transmasculine community. They delve into their own personal experiences, intertwining the stories of two young trans men who died by suicide.
Homecoming king Blake Brockington and soft-spoken Kyler Prescott were poets, musicians, and community advocates. The film traces their joys and challenges, their tragic deaths and resulting media attention, and the larger aftermath within their communities. Kyler’s story is told by his close-knit family in San Diego, while a second portrait combines interviews with Blake and his vast network of found family in the Carolinas.
What Will I Become? considers the lives of these individuals, the environments that provide care, and spaces that lend to ostracization—asking why the transmasculine community is particularly vulnerable to living briefly and dying quietly.

The Grass
Ceiling
Feature, Post-Production
Decades after giving up her childhood dream of playing pro baseball, Sarah begins filming a team of girls determined to reach the game’s highest level, long before that path exists. As they navigate adolescence and pushback from a male-dominated sport, Sarah comes to see her own story within the wider context of the history of girls fighting to play, just as a groundbreaking women’s professional league prepares to launch in 2026.
The Grass Ceiling is set against the backdrop of a long and largely invisible history of gender exclusion in baseball. Every year, more than one hundred thousand girls play Little League baseball across the United States. But by the time they reach high school, over ninety percent leave the sport. That drop-off is often framed as a “choice,” when in reality it reflects a culture that brands girls as physically inferior and socially unwelcome in baseball. This film examines that belief system and its impact across generations.
