Naomi and Aether – Who I Am

TV & Film

Filmmaker Naomi Ball joins us in the studio with Aether – the star of her latest short film “Who I Am”.

“Who I Am” is a 23-minute documentary following a transgender teen who is also Autistic.

After being bullied at school, 14-year-old Charlie (pronouns he/him/it) finally comes out to his mum, setting him on a path of navigating the first steps of his transition – the social transition – and ultimately settling into his identity with a new name Aether. Meanwhile his mum Anthea goes on her own journey to embracing her child for all that he is.

The story is told through observational moments, intimate reflections from the whole family, and Aether’s own original animated characters, The Fallens, coming to life.
