T'was the night before Christmas, and a young transgender prostitute has just been released from prison. Sin-Dee Rella (Kitana Kiki Rodriguez) meets her best friend, Alexandra (Mya Taylor) at a donut shop, and the two get to talking. That is, until Alexandra let's slip that Chester (James Ransone), Sin-Dee's pimp and boyfriend, has been cheating on her. This isn't the sort of thing that Sin-Dee is going to live with, and she begins a rampage through the town to find Chester, and the "fish" that he's begun a relationship with. And she's only been out of prison for a day.
'Tangerine' is an upcoming film from director Sean Baker ('Starlet', 'Greg the Bunny'). The film was written by Baker and Chris Bergoch ('Starlet') between September and December 2013, following a meeting between the two filmmakers and the lead transgender actresses at a Los Angeles LGBT Center. The movie was filmed entirely on three iPhone 5s beginning on Christmas Eve 2013 in Los Angeles, and ending a month later. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on 23th January 2015, and is set to appear in the US for a limited release on 10th July 2015.
