David Velduque is a Spanish filmmaker who's made it his mission to focus his work around LGBTQ+ stories with a particular bent towards horror/fantasy/sci-fi. With Transción, he raises awareness through body horror by telling a story about an elderly trans woman who receives an unexpected visitor, in the form of a new caregiver, which leads to a struggle between reality and fantasy. Aaron had the pleasure of chatting with David about the film, which recently had its world premiere in Fantastic Fest's Short Fuse section, a shorts block that delivers "cutting-edge horror that will make you ponder the uncanny."
