Chicago-based film makers Awilda Rodriguez Lora and Kortney Ryan Ziegler are wrapping up their first documentary, still black, a portrait of black transmen and have roughly cut a trailer (see above). From stillblackfilm.org :
still black is a feature-length documentary that explores the lives of six black transgender men living in the United States. Through the intimate stories of their lives as artists, students, husbands, fathers, lawyers, and teachers, the film offers viewers a complex and multi-faceted image of race, sexuality and trans identity.
I’m so excited to see Chicago as a hot bed for progressive film making, with Actor Slash Model’s project about trans musicians and their bi-monthly screenings of queer film, 2008 is making for a good year in screen based entertainment.
