What are Freedom Stories?

ACON and ReachOut worked together with a bunch of talented filmmakers and storytellers to produce digital stories. Our storytellers share their own experiences in coming to terms with their sexuality and/or gender, and reveal what they wish they’d known then, that they know now.

About the filmmaker

Brendan Cain exists on this earth for two reasons: (1) to make films, and (2) to play Trivial Pursuit. Both activities require a whole heap of knowledge about many silly things and the ability to work well in a team, and involve plastic objects that can sometimes be a choking hazard.

This is Brendan's third collaboration with ReachOut. If you’re looking for a freelance director, or Trivial Pursuit teammate, he's your guy.

Have a squiz at some of Brendan's other work.
