- What Nathan says about the film ~ "It shows the dichotomous experiences for transgender students in two Vermont schools, one really bad and one really good, and how to bring those two stories together to learn now to make positive changes for transgender students in all our schools."
- What Nathan says of What's the Story? ~ "The real driver of this course is passion. All the students are here because they care about something; all the teachers are here because they care about the students. To have access to a course that allows you to advocate for the issues you are passionate about, learn things, and propel yourself into the world of film making is truly a gift." (From Ms. DiLena)
