A no-bullshit web series starring Rain Valdez, Sterling Jones and Alexandra Grey. Razor Tongue explores the complexities of finding a voice of self-love in a world filled with misogyny and discrimination. Razor Tongue deftly navigates the calling out—and the being called out. Whether sitting through a floundering Tinder date or a terrible job interview, Belle Jonas (Valdez) calls out micro-aggressions and bad behavior from men whenever she sees it. But when antagonized by Ariel (Grey), who turns the tables on her, she begins to wonder about how effective public shaming actually is. (Now>Ever Artists)
For her tremendous performance as Belle Jonas, Rain Valdez was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Actress in a Short Form Comedy or Drama Series. With this achievement, Valdez became the first Filipina American transgender actress to be nominated for an Emmy.
