In an effort to impress their classmates, bumbling high school seniors Ethan (Misha Osherovich) and Alex (Nico Carney) pose as transgender women. Their plan works, but when Ethan realizes she isn’t pretending, the pair must confront their changing friendship, coming-ofage, and coming out. From trans writer/director Siobhan McCarthy and starring a talented young trans and non-binary cast, SHE’S THE HE takes the raunchy teen sex comedy to funny, sweet, and unexpected new places.

“It sounds like a ferocious right wing fever dream, but the result is a meaningful comedy-drama about identity, and the confusion of burgeoning youth.” – Variety

“A refreshing, authentic comedy that’s talking to trans and cis kids alike in a language they’ll immediately recognize as their own.” – AV Club
