Harvey Rabbit

Filmmaker, writer and producer Harvey RABBIT is a transgender artist living in Berlin, Germany. He has a Masters degree in Dramaturgy and a Masters of Fine Arts in Experimental Theater, both from New College of California. A campaigner for LGBTQIA+ and sex worker rights, his activism dates back to the mid-90s when, using spoken word as his medium, he stormed the stages of Northern California, speaking about feminism, queerness, and empowerment. He was selected for the 2007 CESTA Waste festival, a cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary festival in Tàbor, Czech Republic and his one-woman show Madge's Box was chosen for the 2008 San Francisco Fringe Festival. From 2013 to 2015, he produced, curated, and hosted Varieté Ridiculous, a political cabaret in Berlin focusing on sex workers' rights. In 2016, his first short film, Slowdance (2016), a film noir about homophobia and gay love, premiered at the Berlin Porn Film Festival and has been shown in queer film festivals in many parts of Europe, South and Central America, and the USA. Captain Faggotron Saves the Universe is his first feature.
