Tonight at 9 p.m., the Little will screen Boy Meets Girl (Eric Schaeffer, U.S. 2014, 95 min.) as part of The Best of the Fests series.

Meet Ricky Jones. She's a beautiful young woman in her early twenties who lives in Kentucky. She's got a job at the local coffee shop, she's a fashionista who can whip up a drop-dead-gorgeous dress using only a tablecloth and her talent, and she has Robby, the same best friend she's had since she was six years old. And oh, yeah. Ricky is a transgender girl. What makes Boy Meets Girl a little different, a little more distinctive than many films featuring a transgender main character is that Ricky is perfectly comfortable in her own skin. She's known she's a girl since she was very young, which means her family, her friends, and her very small Kentucky town also know. Rather than focusing on Ricky's gender identity struggles (and she does have them), the story focuses on her search for love and direction.
