Micky is the subject of Call Me Micky, an independent documentary now traveling the festival circuit. Your gift helps him be in the room when it screens.
My name is Micky Angelo Petrillo, and at 62 years old, I am finally living as the man I was born to be. It only took me 59 years to figure that out. But this isn't just about my transition. It's about using humor and radical honesty to change the way the world sees the trans community.
In a time where our dignity and civil rights are under attack, I believe the most powerful weapon we have is visibility. My goal is simple: before you judge a trans person, get to know one.
Filmmaker Andrew Rasmussen chose me as the subject of Call Me Micky, and that film is now traveling the festival circuit. Festivals are where a short film finds its audience, and they work best when the subject is in the room to answer questions afterward. Getting me there is what your donation pays for.
From Micky
“Whether you contribute $10 or $1,000, you are becoming a supporter of change. If you believe that humor can bridge the gap of ignorance, and that every human being deserves to live their truth, please join us.”

Every dollar goes toward putting Micky in front of a festival audience. Here is exactly what that covers.
Submission and entry fees. Every festival charges to be considered, and the good ones charge the most.
Panels, Q&A appearances, and the community events that turn a screening into a conversation.
Flights, trains, and hotel rooms so Micky can actually attend the screenings his story is playing at.
There are no perks and no giving levels. Every gift, at any amount, does the same job: it gets Micky to the next festival and in front of the next audience.
Every contribution, large or small, helps Micky get to the next screening of Call Me Micky.
Any amount helps. There are no giving levels and nothing is unlocked by giving more.
