Director Statement

To get a good and fair idea in JUMPING short film, I interviewed 28 different transgender people. The more I researched the subject, the more I became convinced that I had to show a small part of the different and difficult lives of these people to others in the form of a drama. Stories to be told about this that can help them live a normal life like ordinary people in society.
