Tony Zosherafatain grew up in Boston, a child of Persian and Greek immigrants. Their dream for him was that he would be a doctor. Tony didn't hear the word trans until he was 19 years old in a support group. When he started to live his truth, it cost him his family for a season. Tony shares how he found support and resilience even through this time of alienation from his family, and how his family story found healing.
Tony Zosherafatain is a film director, producer, and writer living in New York City. He began making films in 2012 after realizing he could help create social change while also combining his love of film and art. His first film was I am Isak, which investigated a trans man's journey in Norway. He has since gone on to direct and produce award-winning films that have been accepted into film festivals such as OutFest, Inside Out, Frameline, Richmond International Film Festival, and many others. His current docuseries, Trans in Trumpland, was acquired by Topic and received critical acclaim. You can find out more about Tony at www.tonyzsite.com
