Cool - the Maryland Film Festival is going do a showing of short films featuring trans directors. And one of the curators of the exhibition is Lilly Wachowski. Here's a link to it:

But what I thought was really funny was the bio that Lilly has for herself...here it is:

"Lilly Wachowski is a trans woman and lifelong Chicago resident. She holds a half-finished BA as well as an almost completed Post Baccalaureate certificate from SAIC. Lilly has worked as a Building Maintenance Technician's Assistant, self-employed carpenter, and Writer/Producer/Director. Some of her credits include The Matrix, Sense8, V for Vendetta, Bound, and Work in Progress. She also paints; sometimes she paints ducks."

It totally downplays all of her amazing accomplishments. Hilarious. :D

How does she get the ducks to hold still while she paints them? PETA may not like this...

Love always -- Jess
