Hello!
My name is Lipton Khan. I am a rising senior at SUNY Purchase's film BFA conservatory. Purple Horses Come Running Home is my senior thesis project— a short film about a trans man reconnecting with his sister after years of estrangement. It tells the story of Nigel and Kendra, two siblings torn apart, trying to figure out how to come back together after Nigel went no-contact five years ago in order to transition. This story is a love letter to my own sisters and family, and an expression of my own feelings about my life/coming out process. If you are a fan of indie films, trans stories, or family stories, consider donating and helping me give my thesis the care it deserves!
Funds will go towards:
- Food
- Gear rental
- Production/set design and costuming
- Travel compensation
- Post-production
- Festival submissions
Thank you so much!
