Deep Stealth’s presentation, “Transamerica: Adventures in Hollywood (And the Real World, Too)”, was a sold-out success, with standing-room-only attendance by professional leaders from businesses around the country. Andrea and Calpernia discussed the evolution of Deep Stealth Productions, from a small single video offering to its current incarnation as a multimedia outlet spanning film, television, DVD, internet, print and other media. Other topics included using new media, producing with an awareness of minority contribution and clips from past and current Deep Stealth projects.

Deep Stealth is proud to be involved in promoting
The Point Foundation LGBT Scholarships, and we invite you to get involved. They are seeking mentor candidates to work with their transgendered Point Scholars. Joe McCormick of The Point Foundation writes, “Transgendered people face special challenges, and we believe that life experience in the areas of concern to our students is particularly important in making our mentor matches.”

We are excited to release the first two volumes of our Coming Out series as DVDs and online streaming video, with another video to follow soon.
Coming Out Disc 02 features an extended discussion on relationships, spouses, partners and significant others with Helen Boyd (author of “My Husband Betty") hosted by Andrea James. Helen is an accepting wife who has supported her spouse’s gender expression after coming to terms with the idea, and she also shares thoughts on family, friends, children, intimacy, therapy, books, and many other resources.
Whether coming out as someone about to begin transition, or coming out as someone who completed transition long ago, these videos can help when you want to help someone understand. Or use them yourself as a prep guide to organize your thoughts before having “the big talk.”
