A love letter to identity, resilience, and chosen family.

After Werk is a deeply personal short film about Gavin, a reserved corporate professional who, under the stage lights, transforms into his drag persona. It’s a story about navigating two worlds, embracing your truth, and the power of chosen family.

We filmed After Werk in June 2025 with an incredible team, almost entirely BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and immigrant artists. Every frame was crafted with care, community, and the belief that stories like ours deserve to be seen.

Now, we’re in the final stretch. Your contributions will help us:

• Finish post-production with professional editing, sound, and colour.

• Compensate our cast and crew for their artistry and dedication.

• Share the film at festivals where queer immigrant voices are celebrated.

Your support means more than covering costs, it’s a reminder that our stories matter, and that people care about seeing them told with honesty and beauty. Whether you can give $5, $50, or simply share this campaign, you’re part of bringing After Werk into the world.

About the Director:
Gabriel Hudson is a Toronto-based Bahamian-Canadian artist and storyteller. With a background in biology and a passion for visual narrative, his work explores themes of identity, intersectionality, and belonging. After Werk is his debut short film, inspired by his own experiences navigating multiple worlds as a queer immigrant.

Thank you for believing in this story. We can’t wait to share it with you.
