Plot Summary
An eye-opening documentary exploring the life of cosplayers, the “costume play” subculture where people dress as characters from their favorite videogames, books and comics. "My Other Me" chronicles a year in the life of three different cosplayers: a veteran, a young teen first-timer and a transgendered man who found acceptance through this community. The doc follows the subjects as they travel the convention circuit, balancing their home lives with their cosplay alter egos, revealing the profound effects the community has played in their lives. A FilmBuff Presentation.
Customer Reviews
Finally! :)
I have been following this film since the beginning and Nova, Twin, and Mana, even before that. When it came out I wasn't able to watch it since it wasn't anywhere accessible to me. I got more emotional than I should have lol. It was quite fun seeing all the photoshoots and costumes, that I remember seeing posted by that cosplayer for the first time, in the film. So for having waiting so long to finally see it it more than live up to my expectations, an amazing film and very relatable, especially to myself… surprisingly I can relate to a lot of the specific things each cosplayed featured dealt with, like Rifa's panic attacks and love for her best friend. or Mana's androgyny or Twin's gender-self-confidence. I have nothing but praise for this documentary. bravo *claps*
