A BIG reason that I didn't mention the 1st time..
Looking back on my last post I feel like I forgot the biggest reason that I need to make this film and it's that I need to some degree make an impact on society (however small it is) I feel like I do a lot of hating on and criticizing of today's American culture, but that means nothing if I don't actively do something to try to make a change, or in this case, open up a dialogue. There is a reason why not many people know about the intersexed, if it's a fear of the unknown or simply something that we feel we cannot indenify with...but the reason needs to be challenged! So to open up this conversation in our film , I hope will open up other private conversations that will lead to a perspective that would not have been gained without confrontation. My goal is social change, even if it's only a few people.

As always I love that you are a woman on a mission. Revolution sister. Revolution!
As I mentioned to Chris, I think the fact that you both have come up against gender expectations in some form or another gives you great empathy. Be sure to keep pulling on those emotional connections. Your grandparents love you dearly Im sure, yet both of those situations are the sort of thing we all grow up to work through and figure out. Use those frustrations in your film to help you figure out where things go wrong and how they might be improved in some way.
