Calpernia Addams is set to star in a new dating show airing in February 2008. Eight men will vie for her affection on Transamerican Love Story, hosted by Alec Mapa.
Ms. Addams said, “I’m so thrilled about the whole experience. I kept asking myself, what if I find someone amazing?”
“The media is finally bringing trans people to the screen as intellectual, social and emotional equals who they trust the audience to identify with. Usually we are relegated to prostitute, punch line, psycho or ‘noble victim’ roles, and 90 percent of the time we don’t even play the roles ourselves. This show will be lots of real fun, which is groundbreaking.”
Logo is also currently airing “Casting Pearls,” a short starring Calpernia and directed by Andrea James. Viewers can watch and rate it online as part of this season’s The Click List: Best in Short Film.

All films will be screened at the Movies at Midway complex, 29 Midway Shopping Center, Route 1, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971
From the 10th anniversary program:
While the GLBT community has become known for many things, fashion sense, high levels of discretionary income, great host/hostesses, ability to discuss Broadway shows till the cows come home and other equally disturbing stereotypes (even if some are often true), the next thing to be added to the list will be that of great filmmakers. These shorts are evidence that GLBT films and filmmakers are certainly a force to be reckoned with. Innovative, funny, thought provoking, silly and real are all adjectives that could be used to describe what you are about to see.
