The Documentary Series and Film
"Praise makes me humble. But when I am abused I know I have touched the stars." – Oscar Wilde
How do you love yourself when you’ve never been taught how?
What happens when you have the strength to liberate yourself from the suffocating grip of impostor syndrome, shed the burdensome weight of labels and preconceived notions, and embark on a journey of self-discovery through DBT, AIR Network Therapy, and EMDR? What happens when you find the courage to pick up the shattered pieces of your heart after losing the one you loved most, all while grappling with the darkness of your mind, the darkness that pushed you to the edge nine times before? And what happens when, against all odds, you muster up the bravery to embrace your true self and embark on a remarkable transformation at the age of fifty, defying societal expectations and norms?
f*ck pr*de, is a new experimental documentary film and series about my medical transition and 40-year mental health journey.
Funding from the Jerome Foundation, Minnesota State Arts Board, Metro Regional Arts Council, and a Sundance Institute Uprise Grant Honorarium has made the project possible. GoFundMe donations and Patreon memberships also make the project possible. With the 2025 MSAB Arts Experience Grant, I’ll tour rough cuts of the series to underserved communities in Minnesota from 2025-2026.
