A Friend Pays Tribute to a Fellow Documentarian

Janetta Johnson recalling stories about Nadia Cabezas. Nadia was sent to the angels by an unlicensed, uninsured driver who was paying attention to his eating and not his driving and hit her. Nadia, aka "Kitty Kastro" was the producer, director, and hostess of television's first transgender community cable show called "Tranny Talk" originating from San Francisco. She accomplished this with her long-time partner, Dina Boyer. This memorial service was at St. Anthony's within the realm of the Tenderloin, Nadia's home turf. She will be missed but remembered eternally.

Festival Application Donations

In my never ending romp through festival guides, I am searching everywhere for my target audience... Those that do not know a stitch about what it is like to be transgender or transsexual in real life experience. That being said, my audience is everyone besides those living in trans-communities. For someone who has run out of financial aid and hard drive space, lol -- I am getting pretty bold with the promoting.

If anyone would be so kind, these are the festivals that I have applied to and have not sent the proverbial check in the mail. While it isn't tax deductible yet, it is a worthwhile cause and your donations will make a real dent in costs associated with the Oral History Project. Just click on the "Donate Now" button at the top of the blog to send funds. I will start a donor page for those who see something in the film and send them a copy of the film as a thank you.
