"Handsome and Majestic," was directed by Nathan Drillot and Jeff Petry, and it debuted in 2016 in Toronto at the Hot Docs festival.

Now that "Handsome and Majestic" is online for viewing, the producers are hoping to further help Milan out. They've launched a GoFundMe campaign to help fund a trip for the teenager to New York to visit Brooklyn's acclaimed Bindle & Keep--tailors who specialize in creating suits for non-binary and trans people.

The GoFundMe page also includes a special update, noting that Milan is now 15, doing well, and playing on his high school's football team.

Previous work from Salazar includes the incredible Wizard Mode, a documentary about an autistic pinball wizard.

Check out "Handsome and Majestic," and if you're so compelled, you can support getting this young man his suit, too.
