Discussing Queer Indie Filmmaking with special guest Gabe S. Dunn

Welcome back to our Gay Adventures in queer media! Same old show, better title. Suits us, don’t you think? Join us as we discuss the queer indie film hustle with bestselling author, podcaster, filmmaker, and chihuahua parent Gabe Dunn. Gabe is also the writer and director of the upcoming trans-led indie movie, You and I, You and Me. We talk about the joys and challenges of writing and pitching the trans-for-trans equivalent of A Star is Born, how to write nuanced, realistic exposition without confusing Grandma, the limitations of typecasting, the benefits of budget constraints, and more. Want to see more queer indie films with trans leads?
