KIT
After an intimate night, Kit falls pregnant. In a world that doesn't know his past, he must navigate the world of pregnancy as a "Seahorse Dad"
Director’s Statement
As co-director and cinematographer, I was drawn to the emotional contradictions at the heart of Kit’s journey. Pregnancy can hold joy, fear, tenderness, vulnerability, and profound physical change; for Kit, those feelings are intensified by the social pressure of moving through a world that does not know his history. We wanted to tell this story with care and specificity, allowing the audience to live alongside Kit rather than observe him from a distance.
The visual language of the series is intimate and character-led. The camera stays close to Kit, making space for private moments as well as the small, accumulating encounters that make him feel exposed. Our aim was not to sensationalise his pregnancy or reduce him to an issue, but to portray a whole person navigating love, fear, agency, and the inevitability of parenthood.
Kit responds to the persistent exclusion of trans-masculine and non-binary people from conversations about reproductive rights and healthcare. At a time when these rights are increasingly contested, the series centres the experiences of “seahorse dads” and asks audiences to consider who is included and who is erased when we speak about pregnancy.
Created by a diverse team of trans, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, BIPOC, and diversely abled artists, Kit is rooted in collaboration and lived experience. We hope the series creates recognition for those who rarely see themselves reflected on screen, while inviting all audiences into a story of resilience, connection, and living authentically.
