Filmmaker seeks transgender individuals struggling with religion |
|
My friend, producer Jamie Hebert, is working on a documentary about trans people and the Episcopal Church. They are looking for someone in our community who would be willing to appear on camera based on the following criteria. This could help improve how trans people are officially considered within Episcopal canon.
The House of Bishops for the Episcopal Church is voting this year whether or not to add “Gender Identity and Expression” to their national “Ministry Nondiscrimination Canon”.
I am a Producer of a short documentary stressing the historic importance of the passage of this resolution from a personal and spiritual standpoint. We are currently looking for persons to interview that are Transgender and meet any of these requirements:
1. They are at a point in their life where religion is not a priority, but may become one if a religious institution were to enact a resolution like the above.
2. They have been struggling with finding a comfortable religious life, and want a tolerant religious place which to call home.
3. They have any slight interest in the possibility of bringing God back into their lives.
4. They may view religion and God more favorably if this resolution were to pass.If you feel like any of these describe you, please contact me, Jamie Hebert, at jamiehebert@yahoo.com
