Author: Atlas O Phoenix

Atlas O Phoenix, who uses they/them pronouns, is a dynamic and multifaceted individual working as a director, writer, producer, and editor. Their films, be it in narrative or documentary form, immerse themselves in the intricate aspects of the human experience, exploring the depths of both darkness and illumination. At present, Atlas is in the process of producing a new feature-length experimental documentary film and a spin-off web series, titled Beautiful Boi. These projects chronicle their personal journey of transitioning beginning at 50, and document the mental health challenges they have encountered throughout a span of nearly four decades. The inspiration behind their work arises from the profound impact of their first love and the heart- wrenching loss of that unique, vivifying bond. Nonetheless, despite the pain, Atlas has come to discover their true self and has been flourishing in the name of love for the past four years. Award-winning Canadian producer David Finch of Picture This Productions, and Atlas’ former Sundance instructor, serves as the Consulting Producer for Beautiful Boi.
