About the Film

A Girl Like Him” is a coming-of-age drama that has already garnered critical acclaim, winning “Best Of” awards at prestigious film festivals including Cannes World Film Festival, Toronto International Women’s Festival, and New York’s Cinema Awards. The film tells the story of a small-town, non-binary teen navigating the complexities of identity, love, and friendship.

A Girl Like Him is a follow-up to Amy S. Weber’s critically- acclaimed 2015 film A Girl Like Her, which brought the issue of bullying to the forefront through the story of a high school girl who is pushed to the brink by her peers. This new film builds on Weber’s commitment to telling powerful, socially relevant stories.

Reflecting on the impact of her work, Weber shared, “This time, I wanted to focus on a coming-of-age story centered around a small town, non-binary teen coming to terms with their true self. ‘A Girl Like Him’ is a film our world needs now more than ever. My hope is that with this film and event, we can help in some way to bring much-needed empathy, understanding, and change.”
