Ben in Bloom

Short Documentary - Coming Soon.

Ben in Bloom follows Ben Busick, a non-binary and queer teenager from the contentious Bucks County, Pennsylvania, as they prepare to leave their hometown behind for college in California. This short documentary nostalgically reflects on the moments that made Ben the confident queer teen advocate they are, but also the work left to be done to ensure safety for queer and trans teens to come.

This film was produced through Queer Cuts: New Hope in partnership with Traverse32 and Outfest.
