"Casting Pearls” received a rave review from Washington, DC’s Metro Weekly
"Casting Pearls” received a rave review from Washington, DC’s Metro Weekly as part of the Reel Affirmations film festival:
The gem of this collection is Casting Pearls (triangletriangletriangletriangletriangle), featuring actress Calpernia Addams (Transamerican Love Story) as she undergoes a series of auditions for roles, some humiliating, some moronic, none especially worthwhile. Brilliantly played by Addams directly into the camera, it is a terrifically funny jab at Hollywood stereotypes.
On October 3, 2002, Deep Stealth Productions opened for business with the release of the instructional video “Finding Your Female Voice.” Since then we have created dozens of videos and other materials for the transgender community.
Stay tuned for some exciting news about our latest project “Transproofed” later this year.

From the Frameline website:
Casting Pearls is a short comedic film which illustrates the difficulties transsexual women face in Hollywood via a hectic series of auditions endured by Cassandra, a transsexual actress (Calpernia Addams). Cassandra weathers the horrible, funny and cruel things said by various Hollywood professionals with plucky determination and professionalism, showing that decades of bias can’t hold back the real contributions of transgender people to the arts and media.
