"Ponyboi: The Intersex Latinx Star Making Waves at Sundance"
River Gallo, an intersex actor and non-binary individual, expressed gratitude at the Sundance premiere of "Ponyboi," a film they starred in and wrote the screenplay for, which explores gender, identity, and the challenges faced by intersex individuals. The movie, set in New Jersey, delves into themes of masculinity, femininity, and societal judgment within the queer community. Gallo emphasized the importance of portraying nuanced stories and experiences of queer and intersex individuals in cinema, and highlighted a significant scene involving a conversation between an intersex person and a trans woman as a groundbreaking moment in film.
