This masterclass will discuss the filmmaker\u2019s opinion about the difference between feminist and pro-trans labor practices and formal and aesthetic practices, and how, if at all, the bridge these concerns.<\/p>\n

Jessica will discuss the difficulty of making films as a transgender woman in America and her own beliefs about how to best build a labor practice in the film industry that will enable jobs for and films by underrepresented individuals. This will be contrasted against the dubious politics of representation, and by an investigation of if film form and narrative itself can contribute to liberation or politics. Her concerns will be illuminated through her experience making two feature films and several shorts before and after transition, and by her understanding of what the experimental form of her films is capable of achieving or not.<\/p>\n
