When I’m Her
When Michael’s ballet career did not turn out as planned he finds refuge and liberation by assuming an alter ego: a sparkly turban-wearing, Russian ballet instructor named Madame Olga. By slipping into this mysterious character, Michael discovers a way to both embrace himself as an artist and reconcile with the pain from his past.

"Deeply moving and a tonic for the soul."
– Cait Kennedy, But Why Tho?
"The healing power of self-expression." "When I’m Her highlights the freedom and wholeness we can find through becoming someone else."
