Port Authority
Directed by Danielle Lessovitz
Produced by Madeleine Films, RT Features
An intimate coming-of-age romance centered on two young people discovering love and identity in the margins of New York City.
Paul, a 20 year old midwesterner, arrives at the central bus station and quickly catches eyes with Wye, a 22 year old girl voguing on the sidewalk. After Paul seeks her out in secret, an intense love between them blossoms. But when Paul discovers Wye is trans, he is forced to confront his own identity and what it means to belong.
