Casting Pearls
Court-métrage fiction de Andrea James
USA, 2007, 7 min., VOSTF (inédit en France)
Imaginez une transexuelle déterminée à obtenir un rôle à Hollywood. Les casting se succèdent, les humiliations aussi mais elles n’entament en rien le professionnalisme de l’actrice. Cette fiction pleine d’humour dénonce la mise à l’écart certaine des contributions artistiques des personnes trans dans l’industrie du cinéma.
