Shooting Our First Movie!
* Well, everyone, guess what! This weekend, Deep Stealth Productions will be shooting our first movie! Andrea and I have written a short film with some humor and real emotion in it, that deals with the trans experience in a way that has not been shown before. We are really making it happen!
* The last few weeks have been crazy, sorry I haven’t updated the diary in so long. My classes are going great and keeping me very busy, and of course we’ve been preparing for the upcoming film with meetings, rehearsals and other details. We’ve hired a cool female Director of Photography, female sound technician, and other crew, keeping community involvement to the maximum possible. We are going to show what we can do as trans women with creative minds and strong will!
* Wish me luck, the film is very demanding and I will be working hard to give the best performance I possibly can. Andrea is directing and will have her hands more than full as well. I’ll keep you posted!

"Are You Hitting That?" Wacky Short Film
about 1 year ago - No comments
In Hollywood, you can end up in a movie without even knowing it! See comedy cutie Allusia as a gal-on-the-go who expounds upon her relationship with a hunk played by Shahrokh Mosavinejad after being asked the titular question by yours truly. LOL!
New Micro-Short film: The Last Pageant – Calpernia, EOY and a Goodbye
about 2 years ago - 6 comments
Some time ago, I received a partial recording of the 1999 Tennessee EOY pageant from a friend. This was to be my last pageant competition, because on that night my boyfriend, Barry Winchell, was murdered in his sleep by soldiers in his unti who were motivated by anti-gay and anti-trans sentiment. The lives of Barry’s…

I get TONS of email… Metric tons. Thank God it’s not paper mail, or my correspondents would be responsible for the deforestation of a large chunk of rainforest. Most of it is routine work stuff, but there are lots of young trans and gay people looking for support and advice, and lots of people my…

Baby Loves Banjo Originally uploaded by Kamepyon Sigh… the best times in life are the simplest… My Dad played the banjo (all of our family played music) and the sound of Bluegrass was always at the edges of my childhood. Isn’t this video cute!?!
