Castration Movie

A trans woman in trouble.

Castration Movie follows a trans woman named Michaela "Traps" Sinclair, a sex worker in Vancouver who splits her time between seeing clients and hanging out with her group of trans friends. As the weight of the world piles up on her she decides to reclaim some sense of control by seeking out a back alley orchiectomy.

Written and Directed by Louise Weard, the film's cast includes Vera Drew (The People's Joker), Ada Rook (Black Dresses), Alice Maio Mackay (T Blockers), Avalon Fast (Honeycomb), John Paizs (Crime Wave), and Lea Rose Sebastianis and Nate Wilson (The All Golden) amongst a mix of other emerging talent and weird and wonderful cameos. The original score was composed by Aoife Josie Clements/Ravine Angel, with additional music by Magda Baker, Alex Walton, and E_DEATH.

The first part of this two part epic, Traps, includes Chapter i. Incel Superman and Chapter ii. Traps Swan Princess.

This digital release will eventually bundle both parts i. and ii. of Castration Movie. The second part is scheduled for release in Summer 2025. It will also update with Special Features to complement the release of both parts as they become available.

Your purchase of this film helps us in the continued production of part ii. The film exists solely as an artistic exercise and will not be financially exploited beyond its cost of production. We thank everyone who supports our project for their continued patronage in our making of weird and transgressive art.

We extend our utmost gratitude to our original crowdfunding backers and the British Columbia Arts Council for their financial support which allowed us to make this work.
