"Casting Pearls" is a short comedic film
by Deep Stealth Productions which illustrates the difficulties transwomen
face in Hollywood. Calpernia Addams stars as The Actress, and we follow her on a hectic series of auditions. Despite all
the horrible, funny and cruel things said by various Hollywood industry people, The Actress carries on
with plucky determination and professionalism, showing that decades of
bias can't hold back the artistic contributions of transgender people in the media. Directed by Andrea James, this short is being distributed in North America by Frameline Distribution.
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone interested in good film and positive opportunities for trans people in the media!
Bonjour from Paris. Just to wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR as a recently added "friend". I have followed your story and you are a real inspiration to many (men and women). Hoping that 2008 brings you many successes both professionally and personally
Calpernia, What can I say - I'm a long time admirer of yours and Andrea James. WOW- thanks for putting me on your home page as a top friend! I'm Totally Flattered! Due to this pic placement, I have been contacted by several old friends I have not talked to since 1999 who have spotted my pic on your site, its like a reunion of sorts - thanks to you!
:)
Look forward to experiencing your next creative endeavor
