When Film Independent announced its nominees for the 2012 Independent Spirit Awards last month, it may have just made history.

Harmony Santana, a transgender actor, was nominated in the category for Best Supporting Female for her performance in "Gun Hill Road", writer/director Rashaad Ernesto Green's tale of a father who comes home from jail to discover that his son, played by Santana before she transitioned, is about to become a woman.

"Gun Hill Road" made its San Francisco premiere as the opening night film of the 2011 Frameline Film Festival. Frameline also supported the project with one of its Completion Funds Grants.
