Lane Michael Stanley Screenings @ Dances with Films 2025

Friend! Thank you for considering coming to either or both of my screenings at this year’s Dances with Films.

LOCATION: TCL Chinese Theatres in Hollywood.

T: FRIDAY, JUNE 20 @ 7:15PM

This is the WORLD PREMIERE for my feature film, T. It’s been a long journey y’all, and we are stoked to bring in cast and crew from all over to celebrate our big premiere and this authentic trans story in a time when us trans folks are under attack.

Logline: Filmed over lead actor Mel Glickman’s real-life first year taking Testosterone, T is a fictionalized, never-before-seen journey of nuanced transmasculine discovery, authentically portraying the moving struggles and joys encountered in friendships, family, and romantic relationships.

We’ll have our stars and crew in attendance, and a Q&A and party to follow!

INK OR DYE: TUESDAY, JUNE 24 @ 4:45PM

INK OR DYE is my short documentary that I got to make about my friends who I met when we were all living in the same recovery house back in 2016. Join us for a hopeful recovery story, in a block along with other documentary shorts.

Logline: How a young couple who met in a recovery house became artists, entrepreneurs, and community leaders through their tattoo shop/hair salon INK OR DYE, where they host town-wide recovery fundraisers and cover gang and hate-related tattoos free of charge.

We’ll have our lead subjects in attendance from Maryland, and a Q&A to follow!
