A new sci-fi thriller short film, with Matrix co-director Lilly Wachowski serving as executive producer, features an all-transgender-women cast.

The 18-minute film, Dolls, marks the directorial debut of trans filmmaker Geena Rocero, and the cast includes Yên Sen, Arewà Basit, Macy Rodman and Vas Eli, as well as the director herself.

Described as a trans-coded take on 70s cult classic The Stepford Wives, the new film follows Yan, a private investigator who infiltrates a suspicious dating workshop for transgender women after being hired to find a missing girl.

      You know, I hope it turns out good. Because if it doesn’t, it might devolve into another Ghostbusters 2016 situation and just thinking about that whole kerfuffle gives me a headache.

        The first 30 minutes of the movie are very bluntly saying “Help! Warner Bros. is forcing me to make The Matrix 4!”

    I wish it was an hour or so long, because I am not really a short film type of person, but I’ll definitely give it a watch because I love to see dolls on film. I hope it ends up being really good!
