Deep Stealth Productions’ short film “Casting Pearls” has been selected for the 2007 Woodstock Film Festival in October. The 7-minute short is directed by Andrea James and stars Calpernia Addams as a transsexual actress enduring a series of auditions in Hollywood.
The Woodstock Film Festival’s mission is to present an annual program and year-round schedule of film, music, and art-related activities that promote artists, culture, inspired learning, and diversity. The Hudson Valley Film Commission promotes sustainable economic development by attracting and supporting film, video and media production.
Deep Stealth attended the Equality California Awards 08 as guests of the Logo Network. Arianna Huffington and Christine Chavez were on hand to accept awards, and entertainment was provided by Eye of Newt Circus and Erin Hamilton.
Democratic Presidential candidates in attendance were Barack Obama, John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich, Mike Gravel, Bill Richardson and Hillary Clinton. Many GLBT celebrities, leaders and people in the news were in attendance as well.
Andrea and Calpernia had the chance to meet Alec Mapa, Wilson Cruz, Jane Lynch and Susan Stanton (below), in the news for a controversial firing after coming out with plans to transition.
