You are here is a love letter between Hayley Morgenstern and Sarah Hill. We started this film before we were even pregnant, it was our way of bringing you here. This film portrays a nonlinear narrative of the alienating process of becoming pregnant as a trans and non-binary couple. The images move between claymation, animation, paper dolls receiving medical care, puppets and live footage and archival footage from our previous collaborations as well as found audio from a 1950’s informational pregnancy video. The rabbit is the third character in the film, representing a multitude of histories in regards to pregnancy and eventually becomes our baby.
