Desire Lines, Sundance NEXT Jury Award, dir. Jules Rosskam, 2024
Past and present collide when an Iranian American transman portals through the LGBTQ+ archive on a dizzying and erotic quest to unravel his own sexual desires.
Art and Krimes by Krimes, MTV Documentaries, dir. Alyssa Nahmias, 2022
While locked up for six years in federal prison, artist Jesse Krimes secretly creates monumental works of art—including an astonishing 40-foot mural made with prison bed sheets, hair gel, and newspaper. He smuggles out each panel piece-by-piece with the help of fellow artists, only seeing the mural in totality upon coming home. As Jesse’s work captures the art world’s attention, he struggles to adjust to life outside, living with the threat that any misstep will trigger a life sentence.
Queer Genius, Frameline Distribution, dir. Chet Pancake, 2020
Queer Genius explores the remarkable lives and work of five queer female artists: filmmaker Barbara Hammer, poet and author Eileen Myles, multidisciplinary artists Rasheedah Phillips and Camae Ayewa (Moor Mother) of Black Quantum Futurism, and performance artist Jibz Cameron, also known as Dynasty Handbag. Deep, affectionate, and intimate portraits resonate across generations as these critically-acclaimed and notoriously radical artists overcome personal and political obstacles to find new ways to live and share their visionary creative practices.
