Who I Am
The world-first documentary film.

A Walking Fish Production from writer/director Naomi Ball.
Who I Am is a 23 minute documentary following a transgender teen who is also Autistic. Research shows that people who are neurodivergent are more likely to be trans or gender diverse.
After being bullied at school, 14-year-old Charlie (pronouns he/him/it) finally comes out to his mum, setting him on a path of navigating the first steps of his transition – the social transition – and ultimately settling into his identity with a new name Aether. Meanwhile his mum Anthea goes on her own journey to embracing her child for all that he is.
The story is told through observational moments, intimate reflections from the whole family, and Aether’s own original animated characters, The Fallens, coming to life.
Director/Producer: Naomi Ball
