And Sylvia reminds us that donations are always much-needed. You can donate to the project by going here and clicking on “support,” or buying goods from their CafePress store here. Donors will even receive a credit in the film. So if any of you are still looking for something to do with that tax return, this is a good option.
Thanks to Coco in the comments for the link.
Oooh, wow. This is really really exciting!! I cannot wait to get my eyes on this film.
Jill, thanks for amplifying!
No prob. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!
Hey, don’t forget to link up with the donation page! They’re selling t-shirts and asking for general donations to help with the film production. All donors receive a credit.
Thanks Sylvia! The link to the donation page and store has been added.
Its’ cool that after the lovely Ms Marcotte’s book was plugged that a WOC’s movie is mentioned on the front page. I am looking forward to seeing the film. Hope to donate a fiver when i get my unemployment
Unfortunately i live in Minneapolis :-(
I’m in Minneapolis too and sure wish I could be closer to see this film!
If Nubian makes film as well as she wrote, I expect that this will seriously rock.
And I was sitting here all jealous!
I know people in Chicago! I’m gonna email those people! I’m an airhead!
I got to see Ryka’s stuff in SF last year. She’s awesome.
Black ftm transpeople get so little exposure I’d be happy to just watch a couple hours of raw footage. Combined with Nubian’s brilliance? Yeah, i can’t wait.
Hey! I go to that school! Gender Fusions is one of our best celebrations. I’m DEFINITELY GOING! If you are in Chicago you must not miss this for any reason! (Well, if you have to work or something, I understand)
And Jill, thank you for posting events happening in other parts of the country. :) For awhile I was afraid I was going to miss everything because it all happened in New York.
