According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, more than 50% of transgender boys have attempted suicide. In WHAT WILL I BECOME?, directors Lexie and Logan - who are survivors - unravel why their transmasculine community is particularly vulnerable to living and dying quietly.
We explore the stories of two young trans men who died by suicide. Soft-spoken Kyler Prescott and homecoming king Blake Brockington were both musicians, poets, and community advocates who lived very different lives. The film traces their joys and challenges, their tragic deaths and resulting media attention, and the larger aftermath within their communities. The film also uplifts trans-led resources that affirm trans boys and the trans community as a whole to provide a more nuanced understanding of suicide-prevention.
Suicide prevention is the primary goal of this project. Directors Lexie Bean & Logan Rozos are both trans suicide survivors who have been previously hospitalized and speak from this experience within the documentary. WHAT WILL I BECOME? is a gift to the versions of ourselves who came out and didn't see a way forward amongst overwhelming stressors and binary constructs of masculinity.
We’re an ITVS co-production, with Executive Producers Harper Steele (Will & Harper, SNL) and Patrick Stump (Fall Out Boy). We’ve also received support from Firelight, Sundance, and Film Independent. Our team is entirely LGBTQIA+ and/or directly impacted by suicide, and we’re holding the responsibility of telling this story as we move toward final cut, festival premiere, and a national impact campaign. We are on track for a 2026 broadcast, streaming, and festival release.
We’re seeking individual supporters who understand the urgency of this work. Funding now would allow us to finish the film on time and activate an impact campaign we’ve been building with partners like The Trevor Project, GLSEN, TransLifeline, and Brave Trails. We’re also collaborating with musicians and activists to plan performances and panels tied to screenings.
