this is something I made when I was feeling bummed about the very distinct possibility that some kind of bug might not get in to a prestigious film festival, and i’ll still have to figure out how to bring it to people.
Yesterday I went to a trans filmmaker meetup, and all of those folks seemed to like and care about the story a lot. which makes sense, because it’s a story about… trans-ness. I am trying to divest from traditional notions of what does or doesn’t make a movie successful, but it’s hard when I’m also trying to pay rent.
(I used to hate the musical rent but now I am realizing that I’m essentially mark cohen, though thankfully born in new york city instead of the suburbs. I’d be so much more insufferable had I been born in the suburbs)
