Billy Porter has won a couple of Tonys and an Emmy, acted on and off Broadway, put out four albums, been all over television from Pose to RuPaul’s Drag Race to The Simpsons and SNL, written a play and a memoir … and now has directed a feature film.
Anything’s Possible, written by Ximena García Lecuona, is basically a teen coming-of-age rom-com, very much in the vein of John Hughes movies of the 1980s, but with a significant difference: the main character is a young black transwoman, Kelsa, played by Eva Reign (pictured), who is herself a transwoman. Kelsa’s identity as an out transwoman in high school is very much in the story, but it isn’t the point around which all action revolves: mostly she is a high school kid dealing with classes, classmates, friends, and family … and just maybe a boyfriend. Certainly there are clashes with other characters and a certain amount of drama, but Anything’s Possible is a romantic comedy, so it keeps the story light-hearted and filled with more joy than heartbreak. It’s a delight to watch, coming soon to Amazon Prime. Enthusiastically highly recommended.
