T Dumas is an actor, writer, and filmmaker based in Washington, DC.

Their latest short film, ELL, won Best Narrative Short at the Appalachian Queer Film Festival, and their TV pilot script, Passing Practice, was a semifinalist in the 2025 ScreenCraft TV Pilot Script Competition.

As a non-binary, Swed(ish) American born with three last names, they’ve long suspected that identity might—just might—be a little bit messy.

Their work explores the complexities of human longing, weaving narratives that are simultaneously challenging, tender, and delightfully absurd.
