[Tickets](https://pools.events/t/pui2ihdh/) Groundbreaking when it was released in 2001 and still fiercely innovative today,** ****BY HOOK OR BY CROOK** is a trans and butch buddy film that chronicles three weeks in the life of Shy, a handsome, gender-bending, small town dreamer with a nagging messiah complex, and Valentine, a deliriously expressive, wise-acre adoptee on a misguided search for her birth mother. The two freaky grifters join forces and learn the true meaning of “poise under pressure” in this visually stunning and wonderfully acted, anti-authoritarian tale of friendship, trust and redemption. Directed and written by acclaimed artist **Harry Dodge** and filmmaker **Silas Howard**, the film is produced by **Steak House**, Howard, and Dodge. It features cinematography by **Ann T. Rossetti** (*Go Fish*), editing by Dodge, and an ensemble cast including Howard, Dodge, **Stanya Kahn**, **Carina Gia**, and **Joan Jett**.
