"Bella Mado", a short film by Director Janice Danielle, is the first film to feature all transgender actors (men, woman & children) portraying non-transgender characters.

"Bella Maddo" is a dark comedy about a pregnant sociopath who compulsively values thinness over caring for her young daughter and unborn child. The cast includes nine year old transgender-girl Miss Jazz, who was featured in a Barbara Walters 20/20 special; notable Americas Top Model contestant Miss Isis King, who was discovered by Tyra Banks, and many other talented transgender actors.

"There are very limited roles for transgender actors in film and television," stated Danielle, "by making this film I am hoping to expand acting opportunities and increase the visibility of the trans community."
