Entered into the 2024 Tribeca X Award Competition, the short film features Chella Man and his journey as a deaf genderqueer artist.

The short featuring Chella Man is entered in the juried category Tribeca X Content Creator/Influencer and will compete for the Tribeca X Social Impact and Tribeca X Environmental Impact awards. Winners will be announced June 11.
"Show Your(s)e.l.f." has additional episodes featuring world record-holder swimmer Anastasia Pagonis, who started competitive swimming as she became blind at age 14 and advocates for mental-health initiatives; Amanda Nguyen, an activist for survivors of sexual violence and an astronaut who will proudly be the first Vietnamese woman in space this fall; and Viktoria Modesta, a bionic pop artist and innovator in the post-disability community who explores modern identity through performance, fashion, avant-garde visuals and more.
Kory Marchisotto, Chief Marketing Officer, e.l.f. Beauty, said: "It's important to bring extraordinary humans like Chella, Tas, Amanda and Viktoria into the collective cultural conversation. By showing their truest selves and sharing how they find beauty in all the moments between resilience and triumph, we believe they will inspire others to be positive, inclusive and accessible. By authentically refusing to fit into any stereotype, each superhero of Show Your(s)e.l.f. mirrors e.l.f.'s vision to be bold disruptors with a kind heart."
