Director and co-writer Fox Fisher says: “The film was surprisingly entertaining and even therapeutic to make, as the process highlighted some of the absurdity of anti-trans arguments and beliefs.”

Getting into character was very easy according to Persia West, who plays the transphobic neighbour. She remarked: “it’s because the arguments are always the same, and are built upon conservative and outdated views on sex and gender.”

Owl, who stars in the short film, says: “Get Off My Turf! is meant to be a parody on the ongoing public debate about trans women and trans feminine people, so the film is fairly light-hearted and fun despite the serious subject matter.”
