Pink & Blue is the 6-time screenplay award-winning short film in pre-production, written by award-winning actor and filmmaker Níkẹ Uche Kadri.
At the heart of our film are Crea (an anxious perfectionist) and Armani (an easygoing optimist), a gender nonconforming couple in a stable, healthy, and loving relationship. Their assumptions about the “right” way to raise their child in a binary world that doesn’t accept them, create a cloud of tension between them. Crea and Armani get so overwhelmed by children’s clothing and toy limitations, that they forget what brought them together in the first place. Pink & Blue is a heartwarming story about understanding the power of healthy, unconditional love.
Our Partners
Inclusion
Our creative team and cast are locked and represent the PoC (people of color) and LGBTQ+ and growing GNC (gender nonconforming) communities.
Pink & Blue passes the Bechdel and Ava DuVernay tests which demand that women and people of color have autonomy from cis male or white characters and the GLAAD-developed Vito Russo test which demands identifiably LGBTQIAP+ characters that are not solely defined by their queer identity.

WHY NOW?
Right now in America, hate crimes are at the highest rate ever measured in history and trans folx of color experience the most extreme violence.
Did you know that over 80% of humans have never met a trans person? According to GLAAD, “…increased media visibility has, for the most part, led to a greater understanding of LGBTQ people, which has diminished stereotypes and stigma that fuel discrimination...” There are too many young LGBTQ+ and GNC people who've committed suicide because our world doesn’t accept them as they are. They are why I must make this film no matter what.
Pink & Blue aims to engage LGBTQ+ folx, people of color, and gender nonconforming communities (our niche core audience), with an emphasis on that 80%, in active empathy. That is our contribution to society: instilling empathy in individuals and educating that 80% about the difference between sex (biology) and gender (social construct), to change how our culture views the gender nonconforming communities, and to validate my fellow community members who exist outside of gender and sexuality binaries.
We must make Pink & Blue NOW because we need to show parents, guardians, educators, and health professionals around the world that it’s okay for children to be who they are. We want to share this film with adults and children in health and community centers, clothing stores and queer bars, so that they will be reminded that there is always acceptance and community nearby. By providing free community screenings, we will access historically under-served communities that are unlikely to have access to film festivals or streaming platforms.
Supporting Pink & Blue means you will help create a world in which it’s safe to be yourself. You will be part of the movement toward global equality.
