Two years ago I woke up to some messages in my phone telling me that my friend was found unconscious out of town, she had been beaten, robbed and drugged. The motive of the assault… being a trans woman. Luckily my friend was alive, however sadly that’s not the case for the majority. I wrote “DIP” with the fear that one day I could lose my trans friends and with the guilt of not being a better friend and failing to protect them. In February of this year (2023) six trans women were killed, and our government did nothing. We live in a world where LGBTQ+ populations are in danger all the time, and trans women are the most vulnerable and the ones with less rights. When I decided to film DIP I was very aware that even if I wrote the script and I directed the film; DIP wasn’t my story, that is not a reality I’ve lived nor I will, however I did felt the need to tell, to make this visible; and I counted with the help of a wonderful cast and crew that are part of the LGBTQ+ community in their majority. DIP is telled through reality and fantasy, having Denisse telling her death through voguing; but why voguing? Well lately this dance is turning more and more popular, being showcased in video clips of stars like Beyoncé or Nathy Peluso, however very Little is known about the origins of this dance. Voguing and Ballroom culture, where this dance started forming, was created in the 80s by black and latinx trans women; and brought to Latin America by other trans women. This short film was also written with the purpose of showing the origins of this dance. DIP is a denunciation to the inaction towards violence against trans women, a crude look of the discrimination that trans women suffer not only outside of the LGBTQ+ community but also inside.
