One of the best trans fem characters I've seen lately wasn't in a prestige drama, but rather in a goofy time-travel show from Brazil called Back to 15 (De Volta Aos 15). So I decided to interview some of the folks behind the show to learn all about Camila's genesis: buttondown.com/charliejane/...
One thing I appreciate about Netflix is the wealth of Brazilian TV shows and movies — this was super useful when I was learning Brazilian Portuguese. But...
I might have to check it out this weekend!I might have to check it out this weekend!
FYI trans writer/actor Alice Marcone was involved in developing this show from the beginning, and Marcone wrote two scripts in the first season. When they were casting the adult version of Camila, Marcone auditioned and won the part, meaning she got to embody the character she helped to create.
Oh wow, this sounds great! And I’ve been wanting to watch something in Portuguese—I need to improve my ability to understand the language when spoken, rather than just in writing!
what streaming service is this on? We’d like to check it out.
I looove her character and how she is portrayed in the show!
Thank you for making me aware of this cool sounding show!!
Oh dang! Didn’t realize there was a new season! I watched the first two on your recommendation and adored the show. I guess I know what I’m doing with part of my weekend.
Amazing, I'll have to check this out!
