A top-billing movie star in 1920's Hollywood has it all but when his love for a man creates scandal his entire life hangs in the balance.

Haines Code - Feature Film

In 2025 America still divided on living out and proud. So imagine what it was like back in 1920s Hollywood with stricter moral codes? There was a pioneer swept under the rug: actor William "Billy" Haines. 


Billy was the original trailblazer for LGBTQIA+ visibility in film. He carved a unique space where he could express his life, passions, and sexuality—at dangerous and personal risks. Billy never apologized for his life.


His story is ready for the big screen.
