Up until about seven years ago actress Marlo Bernier was known as Mark. Marlo is transgender, and having completed her transition from male to female, she has stories to tell about her journey. And that’s what she intends to do in a new TV dramedy series called Myrna that she has created and co-written.

Bernier is the creator and co-writer of a new dramedy series in development, Myrna. The story, mirroring Bernier’s real life, follows the journey of an actor, who after a successful career on stage and screen, is willing to sacrifice everything when he finally confronts his true gender identity and transitions from male to female.

The series follows Myrna who has sacrificed everything when she finally confronts her true gender and transitions and then struggles to find work as an actress, wrestles with a manager who still wants to send her out as her formerly-famous self, Michael, and deals with the drama of her friends’ reactions as they make an effort to come to terms with Myrna and her life-altering transition.

The series pilot has its Red Carpet World Premiere at the Hollywood Film Festival on Wednesday 23rd September 2015 at Arclight Cinemas on Sunset Blvd in Los Angeles.  Email [email protected] to try and blag an invite and mingle with the stars too.
