Billy Porter is stepping into the director’s chair for the upcoming film Anything’s Possible!
Starring Eva Reign as Kelsa and Abubakr Ali as Khal, Anything’s Possible tells the story of a very confident trans girl experiencing her senior year in high school. So far, certain critics have compared this movie to the likes of Love, Simon.
Best known for his various roles on Broadway and for playing Pray Tell on Pose, this will be Porter’s first time directing a film. In the trailer, Kelsa (Reign) is seen falling in love with Khal (Ali), navigating the usual challenges of being in high school.
