On June 27, 2023, award-winning podcast producer, screenwriter, and Trans woman Tilly Bridges will release the book, Begin Transmission: The Trans Allegories of The Matrix, which will take readers through the trans allegories of the Matrix franchise with deep dives into The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded, The Animatrix, The Matrix Revolutions, and The Matrix Resurrections, tracking one person’s transition journey – from Thomas Anderson, to Neo… to Trinity. In celebration of March 31st being Trans Day of Visibility and the anniversary of the first Matrix movie, Bridges has generously shared with Fanbase Press the cover reveal for the upcoming book which is currently available for pre-order in paperback and hardcover through BearManor Media.
Book Synopsis
Each movie’s allegory is deeply layered, building from movie to movie, and speaks to a different aspect of trans existence. Readers will learn how color is used to convey more than you realize, how Neo’s psyche is personified in the people around him, how no other mass media franchise speaks as truly, deeply, and honestly to the trans experience and exactly why these movies are beloved and vital to the trans community (and their cis allies).
