Cheryl Dunye is set to produce a new film, "Black Is Blue," through her company Jingletown Films. This project, a "sci-fi trans erotic thriller," is based on her 2014 short film and was selected for the CineMart co-production market in Rotterdam. Dunye aims to find European co-producers after struggling to secure funding in the U.S. for the film, which explores themes of AI and the marginalization of trans individuals. She believes the European market offers better opportunities for her project. The film is in development, with plans for pre-production in early 2026. Dunye is also working on another project with producer Christine Vachon and looks forward to engaging with fellow filmmakers at the Rotterdam festival.
