Featuring a knock-out soundtrack highlighting transgender musicians including Lane Webber, Ceréna and Mal Blum, REALLY HAPPY SOMEDAY is the feature film directorial debut of Canadian director and cinematographer J Stevens (SLO PITCH, SORT OF).

Before he transitioned, Z (Breton Lalama) was a rising musical theatre star struggling with his gender identity. One year into taking testosterone, he has finally started to feel at home in his body but has lost all control of his voice. At the same time, Z’s long-term partner, Danielle, feels she’s lost the person she fell in love with. Unable to book work with his changing voice, Z starts bartending, where his new boss encourages him to fight for himself and his dreams. Z starts working with a singing instructor to learn how to use his new voice, and maybe even trust himself.
