Every time it seems like the teen rom-com drama has run out of steam, another one comes along and proves there are plenty of stories left to tell about young people exploring life and love.
This week's example of that genre's continued relevance is "Anything's Possible," a Prime Video film debuting Friday about a transgender high school senior experiencing her first real romance. In addition to being another entry in this particular canon, "Anything's Possible" also happens to be the feature directorial debut of Pittsburgh native Billy Porter that he shot throughout the Steel City last summer.
As a film, "Anything's Possible" contains a charm offensive from star Eva Reign and a thoughtful examination of what it means (and takes) to move through the world as a transgender youth in 2022. Porter told the Post-Gazette last year that his movie is also meant to be viewed as "a love letter to Pittsburgh," and you won't find many more lovingly rendered cinematic visions of a filmmaker's hometown than what Porter committed to screen for "Anything's Possible."
