Frameline50: Tomorrow’s Too Late

“Now I can’t seem to get you off my goddammed mind. And to be honest, I’m not alright.” A unique duet, separated by time and transformation, performs on stage to a full crowd. Dylan stands at the mic hitting the lower notes, while Lots, his name before he transitioned, sings through the speakers, hitting the higher notes. This euphoric moment was unthinkable only a few years before, when Dylan Holloway, a pop star from the UK, was faced with a decision that terrified him: would he choose to live authentically and transition, thereby losing his singing voice, his livelihood, and as he said his “only redeeming feature” that made him feel worthy?

Through emotional, tear-soaked video diaries and attempts at singing the songs that brought him fame, to archival footage of him on The X Factor and performing as a lesbian, Tomorrow’s Too Late is a testament to bravely forging your own path towards authenticity, even if it means putting everything on the line.
