Institute History
Description
A feature length documentary about what it means to be a man. Five men (who—like the director of this film—were born and raised female), take a variety of paths toward becoming the men they’ve always wanted to be, culminating in the only transgender bodybuilding competition in the world. Man Made is one part intimate, yet riveting competition film, and the other a unique, character-driven social justice narrative that speaks to the ways in which we all choose to define and reshape ourselves, both figuratively and literally.

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
