Rent: Filmed Live on Broadway (2008)

In the summer of 2015, former US Marine and world record weightlifter Matt "Kroc" Kroczaleski was publicly outed as being transgender. The reaction was universal: her sponsors abandoned her, she was disowned by her parents, banned from competing, and she changed her name to "Janae". This film follows Janae as she attempts to find her place in society. Initially wanting to strip off the muscle and become a much smaller looking woman, she found herself unable to lose the muscle she so desperately gained. She now finds herself living one day as an alpha male and the next day as a delicate girl. Will Janae be able to handle her muscle relapses? Will her passage from being a male bring her the peace she's looking for? Will society accept a 250lbs muscular woman? Is her path personal redemption or physical and psychological disaster?

The festival is meant to promote his Fyre talent-booking app. His first move is to announce the festival in the following month and spend millions to produce ads with Instagram models. "[McFarland spent] millions on models, private jets, and yachts to promote what would be his first-ever large-scale event," Vice reported.December 2016: Organizers recruit a group of influencers they call "Fyre Starters." Among the crop: Kendall Jenner (whom McFarland paid $250,000 for a single Instagram), Ashanti, Bella Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, and Hailey Baldwin. Their pitch deck flaunts millions of "media impressions" and pending partnerships with Samsung and Casamigos Tequila. The deck names Ja Rule ("widely recognized as among the most commercially successful hip-hop artists of all time") and McFarland ("he guides the company's overall direction and strategy") as the event's organizers. The "Fyre Squad" of organizers includes chief marketing officer Grant Margolin and Elliot Tebele, who cultivated a social presence repurposing other people's jokes on his Instagram account @FuckJerry. After the first round of ticket purchases come in, Margolin reportedly eyes a private island to purchase, but the island had no electricity or water, so that plan is abandoned.December 2018: McFarland is sentenced to 6 years in prison.
