CB Films: Trans Pregnancy Project
It’s no secret that our CEO, Trystan Reese, is an expert on trans pregnancy and inclusive media—he’s spent years studying the in’s and out’s of trans fertility, and before that, he studied with GLAAD to learn the best tactics for telling LGBTQ stories in compelling, relevant ways. Collaborate Consulting has partnered with dozens of news outlets to bring fascinating characters and news items to life! So we were happy to work with CB Films on their project designed to tell the stories of several transgender men on fertility journeys.
This project is still a work-in-progress, so we can’t share additional details, but as part of our partnership with CB Films, we have scouted smart, capable subjects in the UK and the US, working to prepare them for life in the limelight. We have also led strategic planning sessions, in which we trained producer- and director-level leaders to better understand the pitfalls of trans stories… and how to honor trans stories by telling them with grace and respect.
Collaborate Consulting also built a handbook expressly for this project: How to tell trans pregnancy stories. It outlines the common misconceptions an audience might have about trans pregnancy, and gives direction on how to address those myths proactively.
When telling trans stories, it’s common for a well-intentioned media-maker to unintentionally miss the mark, even when they’re dedicated to making high-quality tv. A partnership with Collaborate can ensure that your product matches your intention, and that the great media you produce makes a positive impact on the world.
