Gwen Haworth
Gwen Haworth (born December 9, 1972 in Vancouver, British Columbia) is a Canadian trans woman and lesbian film director, and screenwriter. She won the Women in Film and Television Vancouver Artistic Merit Award at the Vancouver International Film Festival for her 2007 film She's a Boy I Knew, a documentary about her gender transition.[1]
She's a Boy I knew uses a combination of interviews, home video footage, and short animation clips to document Gwen's transition from male to female. By centering the film around the interviews of her close friends and family we're able to understand how Gwen's transition affected each person in her life differently, and overall, how it affected her. And because of this, the film is a great resource for other families who are going through the same situation.
She also made two earlier short films, Not Kokura and Road Movie.
