A singer’s voice—and identity—evolve in this raw, lyrical journey through gender transition, loss, and self-discovery. British artist Dylan Holloway, formerly known as Lots Holloway, stepped away from the spotlight during the 2020 lockdown to begin his gender transition. Once a rising star on the UK’s X-Factor, Dylan now faces a profound personal and professional crossroads: hormone therapy could irreversibly change the voice that once defined his career. Blending candid video diaries, family footage, and intimate interviews, Tomorrow’s Too Late traces Dylan’s early life, his struggle with identity, and the emotional toll of life lived in public. At once a music documentary and a deeply moving portrait of trans experience, the film captures the courage it takes to risk everything in pursuit of an authentic self.
