I STAND CORRECTED returns to Seattle!
Star and director to attend
A critical and audience favorite from the 2012 Translations: Seattle Transgender Film Festival returns by popular demand! I STAND CORRECTED
star Jennifer Leitham and director Andrea Meyerson (LAUGHING MATTERS)
will be here for this encore presentation of their award-winning film,
Wednesday Oct 17, 7:15 pm at Northwest Film Forum.
Post-film reception at Purr, 1518 11th Ave.
"A remarkable documentary about a
remarkable human being, Jennifer Leitham. The best part of this
documentary, however, is not so much the story of how John became
Jennifer, a story that's told with great warmth and intelligence by
Jennifer, but, for me at least, the discovery of a truly major American
musical mind. Jennifer Leitham is an American original." - Charles
Mudede in The Stranger.
