Bio

Raised by two English professors, Grayson (he/they) has had a passion for storytelling from a very young age that has only grown throughout the years. Grayson grew up as a transgender person in a small town where they did not know many other transgender people, and they were one of the first of their friends to come out as queer. There was not much positive representation for queer, and especially transgender people in movies or on television, either, so it was hard for him not to feel alone and isolated in figuring out his identity.

Grayson participated in many sports, clubs, summer camps, music lessons, etc. growing up, and tried almost everything their hometown had to offer. Always hungry for more opportunities and knowledge, Grayson went on to graduate from Emerson College with a BA in Media Arts Production and a minor in Fiction, intern at the International Screenwriters Association, and move across the country to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. He loves creating and writing and is currently searching for a job in film. Grayson loves learning about any new perspectives they can and using their own perspective in their work, especially when it comes to creating much-needed representation for transgender people like him.

They are bundled up in a gray jacket, blue jeans, black boots, a purple mask, and a big rainbow scarf, and they are holding a camera and pointing it towards the pond.
