Fans of indie trans films rejoice! Filmmaker Mia Moore Marchant’s hotly-anticipated feature film Again Again just wrapped up production. Now, Marchant and her team are seeking a producer to get the film to the box office.

Again Again is a sci-fi film almost entirely made by queer and trans people. Marchant serves as the film’s director and star, taking on the role of Agatha, a trans woman trapped in a time loop for 10 years. When Agatha suddenly exits the time loop, she suddenly has to adjust to everything she’s missed out on. To complicate matters further, Agatha finds herself entering into a burgeoning romance with Tess (Aria Taylor), her childhood best friend-turned-love interest.

Again Again also features a performance by Philosophy Tube icon Abigail Thorn as Naomi, who has become a “cult favourite character” for early viewers according to Thorn.

Marchant spread the word through an IndieGoGo campaign and found a way to fund her film entirely from the ground up. A core goal of the work is to ensure that it remains focused on and entirely run by LGBTQ+ individuals. Some pages from Again Again‘s script was also released to the public, which led to it developing a devoted audience before it was even released.

“Again Again has lived in my head for the last 4 years ,so it’s kind of a whirlwind showing it to people who have no idea what to expect,” Marchant told INTO. “I went into this film wanting to put queer and trans people into every aspect of it, both in front and behind the camera. It’s so rare to see a film that was written, (co)directed, produced, and starring trans folks; where every piece of music and a bunch of the art in the film were made by us.”

The film has been in production for over a year, and only recently came to a conclusion on Tuesday when Moore announced on X that the film is officially ready for primetime.

Fans of Moore can’t wait to see Again Again.

“I’d love to get Again Again the widest release possible considering it’s such a scrappy little labor of love,” Marchant told INTO. “I think when I said these things two years ago everyone looked at me like I was crazy because trans films made by trans filmmakers don’t usually get that kind of spotlight, but after seeing what happened this year with The People’s Joker and I Saw The TV Glow and the passion Vera [Drew] and Jane [Schoenbrun] put into those releases, it’s feeling really possible!”
