GURL is a short film based on the night life of the famous trans women sex worker Carmen Rupe from New Zealand. After being assaulted she meets a famous retired Rugby player who played for the All Blacks that offered her a hand in kindness. This film not only had amazing music, editing but also some great acting as well.
