About This Project

Summary

Our goal was to capture Bosco’s real-life Facial Feminization Surgery journey as naturally as possible. While filming at Bosco’s home in Seattle, our agile crew acted as flies on the walls with cameras. To achieve our goal of providing as much information as possible, we captured footage of the surgery itself, bringing a reality to the episode that most people have never seen before. The cherry on top of this powerful project is the crowning reveal of Bosco’s face after the surgery.

Goals & Objectives

Our objective with "Face of Bosco" was to celebrate Bosco's individuality while bridging the information gap when it comes to the general public’s awareness of transgender healthcare with this informative celebration of a fan-favorite queen's personal journey.

Results & Impact

“Face of Bosco” has allowed for countless people to learn about Facial Feminization Surgery, gaining 216k views and 3.5M impressions. Whether we opened someone’s eyes to the possibility of such a change or provided another with practical steps to achieve it, we're so proud of this episode's impact.
