**Screenwriters**: Harry Dodge, Silas Howard **Producers**: Silas Howard, Harry Dodge, Steak House Vidiots is thrilled to welcome filmmakers **Silas Howard, Harry Dodge, **and **Steak House** for a special 25th Anniversary screening of their trailblazing trans buddy comedy ***By Hook or By Crook***! Groundbreaking when it was made and still fiercely innovative today, *By Hook or By Crook* is a butch and trans buddy film that chronicles three weeks in the life of a handsome, gender-bending, small town dreamer with a nagging messiah complex. Emotionally defeated after the death of his father, Shy heads to the big city to sink himself into a “life of crime.” He is quickly distracted by Valentine, a deliriously expressive, wise-acre adoptee on a misguided search for her birthmother. 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. **Picks from the Video Store** Take home more phenomenal trans cinema tonight on fabulous physical media!
