about

"Tear Down The Wall" was a project conceptualized and created by Vancouver-based LGBTQ+ director and actor Amy Fox, along with transgender artist Kieran Strange and the cast and crew of The Switch independent trans* television series!

ABOUT "THE SWITCH":
Welcome to the East Vancouver underworld, home to marginal living, social inequity ... and now to Sü.
Sü has been out to herself for years and finally moved to Vancouver to start life again as a trans woman. She took out a loan and got a computer science degree. She got a 9 to 5. She got a gym membership. But after losing it all, Sü is forced to move in with her ex, Chris. She finds herself in a different world - from data entry to text dominatrixing, organic produce delivery to contract killing – and making friends in unexpected places. When her new community is threatened, she can no longer stand idly by: an office climber becomes a community leader.
