Life
Sasha Knight was born and raised in Los Angeles. In Anna Kerrigan's drama Cowboys , Knight was given the lead role of 10-year-old Joe, who is out and about in the mountains of Montana with his father, played by Steve Zahn . Joe is actually a girl, at least that's how her mother Sally raised her, but she feels like a boy. After his father Joe bought western clothing, the two of them are out in the wild, camping under the stars and eating cold beans like real cowboys.
For Knight this is the second film role after Maybe Shower . Kerrigan worked with casting director Eyde Belasco to find a non-binary trans child , which, in addition to the general difficulties of finding child actors, was an additional special challenge. Cowboys was first made available online to Tribeca Film Festival attendees on April 15, 2020.
