Aitch Alberto: Walking Through Your Truth — The Power of Delusional Confidence and Authentic Self-Love
Send us a text
In this intimate and profoundly moving episode, we dive deep with the extraordinary writer and director, Aitch Alberto — named by Vogue Poland as one of this generation's defining female filmmakers.
Born into a Cuban-American family with a fugitive father on the run, Aitch's childhood was characterized by constant flux, societal and cultural pressures, and a painful internal struggle with her assigned sex at birth. She shares the pain of trying to exist as a "fake, alternate version" of who she was and the messy and non-linear journey towards healing and self-acceptance, and the courage it took to finally walk through her truth.
Aitch's 'delusional confidence' propelled her to take extraordinary risks to bring the New York Times bestselling young adult novel, ARISTOTLE AND DANTE DISCOVER THE SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE, to life on the big screen -- including the successful pitch "tweet" to Lin-Manuel Miranda. She also shares and how the process of making the film led her to fully embrace her authentic truth. Despite her success, Aitch never shies away from the ugly, painful, and human parts of her journey, reflecting on the intersections of her personal experiences with wider issues of transgender representation and generational trauma.
This episode serves as a reminder that the path to authenticity is far from linear, and our biggest dreams often reside on the other side of our fears. It's a celebration of human resilience, an examination of our shared journey towards self-love, and a recognition of the sacred within us all, regardless of identity.
Aitch is one of Indiewire's 22 Rising Female Filmmakers to Watch in 2022 and Variety's 10 Directors to Watch in 2022. ARISTOTLE AND DANTE DISCOVER THE SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE will be exclusively in theatres this summer!
