I am loath to do this, but I need your help. My 20+ year marriage has unexpectedly imploded. There's a kid involved. Aside from Lupus, Autism and a shitty 2009 Mazda, I have nothing. Things are fairly desperate right now, so if you can help out now in any way at all I'd be really grateful ❤️

Now up for preorder - with lots of new extras, inc. an hourlong archival audio recording of Casey Donovan (BOYS IN THE SAND) and Robert LaTourneaux (BOYS IN THE BAND) relating their hustling experiences as part of Wake's research for THE HUSTLERS, plus the long-unseen theatrical cut of TAKE ONE!

Tramps, Troublemakers, and Trailblazers: Trans Filmmakers Boundary-breaking filmmakers reclaim their stories with these richly varied looks at the trans experience. Curated by Caden Mark Gardner and Willow Catelyn Maclay, authors of the book Corpses, Fools, and Monsters: The History and Future of Transness in Cinema, these revealing counterhistories show that there is no single, common trans film image but rather a kaleidoscope of voices, forms, and lived realities.
