Meet The Crew
Key Creatives
Silas Howse
Director & Writer
I got into this craft because the stories I wanted to tell weren’t being told on the big screen, and that hasn't changed much. There are so few stories about trans people in mainstream media, and if they do exist they mostly centre the oppression we face. They’re made with the intention of being palatable to a larger audience. Lacking complexity to fit a narrative that cis people can understand. I’m not gonna do that. Never in my life have I wanted to make anything “palatable” to others, and The Call is no different.
"The Call" is a Sheridan College Portfolio project, made entirely by fourth-year Bachelor of Film & Television students. We are proud to be the only queer film of the class of 2025, featuring trans creatives in front of and behind the camera, and excited to bring this project to life as an experimental narrative.
