Some of us always knew. Have always been "other" on the gender question. We just literally didn't have the word to describe our truth. #1998 #nonbinary #queer

A group of people convene around a long bar table as one of the people presenting a video they were working on

Went to a fun co-working event in Cap Hill! Got to meet some nice folks and make a few good connections, and used it as a way to finally crack open my feature script to start a second draft! Sometimes we just need a push πŸ™‚

A white non-binary person with a red mohawk wearing black with a shirt with a unicorn on it that says "GAYBOY" stands on one side of a red heart balloon and gold star balloons. On the other side, a person with blue and purple hair (also wearing black) poses with an Audience Choice award.

Super happy to have helped run the "For the Love of Film: Mini Film Fest today! And was very psyched and humbled that Christina Morales' film Peekaboo (where I played the lead Ava" was voted Audience Choice for the evening block! A great day spent in community πŸ₯° #seattlefilm

An audience sits in chairs facing a large projector screen with a large heart and the words "For the Love of Film: Mini Film Fest" Heart and star balloons grace a table with a red tablecloth and hearts. Two people stand behind it Heart and star balloons are outside an open glass door. People stand in front of a table with a red tablecloth.

Aries Rising Productions helped organize and host this cool event! The "For the Love of Film: Mini Film Fest" is for shorts that really want to be seen by more folks but haven't had the chance πŸ₯° Both shows sold out, the matinee block is happening now! www.greenerpasturesartfilm.com/classes

Had a great time at the premiere of "Grandmother," a film by Katie Fox! I played Erin, a parent to a new mom struggling with postpartum depression. A powerful story, and a really well crafted film! #seattle #film

Just watched We Bury the Dead, really liked it. I'm a sucker for a strong non-cis-male lead, some really good scares and twists and turns! #horror #zombie #film #WeBuryTheDead

A white non-binary person with a red mohawk, wearing a graphic black T-shirt and black leather jacket, stands outside Magpie Thrift Store in Shoreline holding up a volunteer name tag with their name and pronouns (Ren Caldwell, they/them).

Started volunteering at the new Magpie Thrift in Shoreline - all proceeds go to the LGBTQIA+ charity Everly, and I'm thrilled with their thoughtful community-centered practices! Visit when you can! πŸ₯°

A flyer for the short film "Poster," featuring a telephone pole covered in flyers and a woman on the right side of frame watching a video on her phone. There's a ghostly image of another person overlaid in the middle. Pink text reads "A queer film by Ren Caldwell" along with the title of the film, and a pink heart in the middle says with white letters "online release 12/5!!" There is a QR code.

My second short, a queer film titled "Poster," will be released online on 12/5! Super excited to share this story with the world - learn more about the production and the incredible community collaboration that created it! www.rencaldwellperformance.com/aries-rising...
