Kwa Theo Kemp, chikondi chake chowopsa chinabwera molawirira.

"Filimu yoyamba yomwe ndimakumbukira ndikuwona nsagwada,” anandiuza. "Ndinali ngati zisanu ndi chimodzi ndipo ndimayang'ana nsagwada ndipo ndasangalala nazo kwambiri!”

Msewu wapakati pa mwana wazaka zisanu ndi chimodzi ndi wosewera wachangu yemwe ndidakumana naye ndikuchita zoyankhulana ndi iHorror's Horror Pride Month mndandanda wakhala wautali komanso wovuta nthawi zina.

Mukuwona, Theo sanathe kukhala yekha. M'malo mwake, kwa transactor, kungodzitcha yekha kwa nthawi yoyamba kuti "iye" chinali chopinga chachikulu.

Adalumidwa ndi cholakwikacho kalekale asanavomerezedwe, ndipo akuti ankakonda kuyang'anira anthu omwe ali ndi talente pa intaneti ndikuwatumizira maimelo akudzinamizira kuti ndi makolo ake koma amangowaimbira foni ndikuwakakamiza kuti agwirizane ndi chinyengo chake. .

N’kutheka kuti anaimbira foni, koma makolo ake anamuumiriza kuti adikire mpaka nthawi ina kuti ayambe kuchitapo kanthu. Anafika magawo angapo atamaliza maphunziro ake kusekondale, ndipo akuvomereza kuti akhoza kukhala ndi imodzi mwamasewera apadera kwambiri omwe aliyense akuchita masiku ano komanso pakati pa osewera omwe amawadziwa.

"Ndinkagwira ntchito ndisanasinthe kotero kuti sewero langa lamasewera lili ndi kanema wapambuyo komanso pambuyo pakusintha," akuseka. "Nthawi zonse ndimakhala ndi nkhawa ndikatumiza kuti izisokoneza otsogolera kuti ndikupita kuti."

Ali ndi zaka 22, pamene anali kuphunzira Meisner Acting Technique ku Atlanta, Georgia, pomalizira pake analankhula chowonadi chake ku dziko lonse.

"Ndidatuluka pa National Coming Out Day mu kanema wapa Facebook," adatero Theo. "Ndinkadziwa kuti njira yokhayo yomwe ndingathere ndikanapanda kubwerera."

Adakwanitsa, komabe, palibe kubwerera m'mbuyo ngakhale adaleredwa kwambiri ndichipembedzo zomwe zidamupangitsa kukhala wolakwa kwa moyo wake wonse. Komabe, pokhala ndi mabwenzi ambiri omuchirikiza, iye anali m’njira yoti akhaledi chimene iye anayenera kukhala.

Koma panali munthu wina wapadera amene anakhala thanthwe lake. Osati anthu ambiri trans anganene kuti chibwenzi chawo chisanadze kusintha anaima ndi iwo popanda kuthetsa kuti chibwenzi.

"Ndakhala ndi chibwenzi changa, Zach, kwa zaka 8 kapena 9, tsopano," adatero Kemp. “Iye wakhala nane m’magawo onse a njira imeneyi. Kunena zoona, ndinabwera kunyumba tsiku lina ndisanatuluke ndipo ndinali kulira chifukwa cha zimene munthu wina ananena. Anali kundikakamiza kuti ndilankhule za nkhaniyi koma ndinalephera ndipo pomalizira pake anangoti, ‘Ngati sundiuza, ndingayerekeze?’”

Zach anauza Theo kuti nthawi zina, anali wotsimikiza kuti Theo anali mwamuna, osati mkazi, ndipo anali kuyembekezera kuti wosewera angonena mawu. Ubale wawo, ngakhale panali zokwera ndi zotsika, sizinasokonekera pambuyo pake.

Ndipo kupitilira zonsezi, Kemp apitiliza kukonza luso lake. Kuphunzira kwake kosalekeza kwapinduladi, ndipo omvera a indie posachedwapa adzawona wosewerayo mu gawo lake loyamba monga munthu wotsogolera.

Udindo ndi munthu wotchedwa Joe, ndipo filimuyo imatchedwa dzino, kuzungulira kwatsopano pa werewolf archetype.

"Ndinali wamantha kwambiri nditayesa mayeso chifukwa ndine wochepa thupi osati wa amuna otsogola," adatero Kemp akuseka. “Zinapezeka kuti Joe ali ndi vuto la mankhwala osokoneza bongo kotero kuti silinali vuto ngakhale pang’ono kuti akhale woonda komanso wooneka wofooka! Iye si munthu woyimirira kwenikweni. Amakhala ngati akudumphadumpha ndi chibwenzi chake akaganiza zochezera achibale ake, komwe ndi komwe ulendo weniweni umayambira. ”

Ndipo mwa ulendo, amatanthauza kukhetsa magazi, chiwawa, ndi zinthu zonse zomwe adazikonda mumtundu wowopsya.

Amayamikiranso director wake, Adam Steigert, chifukwa chotenga mwayi pa iye.

“Ndimakonda kwambiri Adamu. Tidakambirana zogwirira ntchito limodzi ndisanapite ku Atlanta, "adatero Kemp. "Ndinabwerera ndipo ndinawona kuti akupanga dzino, koma ndinkaoneka wosiyana kwambiri ndi mmene ndinkaonekera nthawi yomaliza imene ndinamuona. Ndinamuimbira foni ndipo anali wokondwa kumva kuchokera kwa ine. Izo sizinamukhazikitse iye konse. Ndisanadziwe, ndinachita mayeso ndipo ndinaponyedwa. "

Kotero, ndi chiyani chowopsya chomwe chimakopa wosewera wamng'ono mobwerezabwereza?

"Pali mtundu wamtundu wamtunduwu womwe uli wowopsa pomwe protagonist wachimuna amayenera kudutsa mwamtundu wina kuti akhale wamphamvu ndikukhala ngwazi," adatero wosewerayo. "Ndimaona kuti otchulidwa omwe amasintha kwambiri amakhala osavuta kuti ndigwirizane nawo chifukwa ndakhala ndikukumana nawo ambiri."

Akufuna kupitiriza kugwira ntchito mumtunduwu, komanso, kwa nthawi yonse yomwe angathe, ndipo ali ndi mndandanda wa ndowa.

"Palibe kanthu ngati kupambana Oscar," adatero Kemp. “Ndikufuna ndikhale munthu wotsamira pakhomo amene amandinong'oneza kuti 'Thamanga!' manja asanandikokere mumdima. Ndikufuna kukwawa podutsa mpweya. Ndikufuna kuchita filimuyo ndikuyang'ana pansi pa chipewa ndi ndudu yoyaka mkamwa mwanga. "

Inemwini, ndikuyembekeza Theo Kemp apeza mwayi uliwonse.
