Hi from Seattle!

[stepchyld]

Hello,

My name is Elayne. I am a filmmaker from Seattle, WA. I've been in the midst of a transition, MtF, since January.

A myspace friend of mine Renae, spoke about the forum such that I had to ask her what the URL was. I'm glad I came over here.

I haven't been a part of an online forum in a few years, and never about trans-related topics, so this should prove to be fun for me.

I'm a Joss Whedon fan, I like Battlestar Galactica and Stargate SG-1, and I read quite a lot. But don't let that pigeonhole me...I am always eager to try new things, except kalamata olives and country line dancing. 

I haven't built a siggy yet, but when I do, it'll look like this:

Welcome to Susan's Elayne. I look forward to reading more from you.

BTW, what kind of films do you make?

I have produced a range of films, nothing in the feature-length category.
My work in producing has encompassed state/county-sponsored educational piece; live music footage; music & image pieces; short-form narrative; fly-films; music videos; short thriller/horror; and finally, experimental.

An upcoming project will take my company into a closed-room classroom setting at a local pole-dancing school, examining the process and alchemical mix present in a class of women learning poledancing.

My latest project in post is my most robust, having been shot on HD and after editing/finishing, will be blown up to 35mm and distributed across Western Washington State as a 3-minute short played before the feature in several art-house theaters.

Within the definition of my business, I find myself contracting with other filmmakers, typically coming on board to fill a need or to coordinate a location, day of casting, or even as part of the art direction crew on a microsoft internal video project!

So, yeah, I guess I'm all over the map! lol

Welcome. I live near Seattle (southwest across the Sound). Aside from the obvious clinic group resources, Seattle has some excellent professional (therapists, physicians, etc.) help if you're interested. Now if I can find a local cosmetic facial surgeon (some of us aren't pretty).

Will you be at Saturday or Sunday's Pride events? I photograph the downtown parade.

Good luck and take care.
