CONTENT WARNING:

Play in the Gray is a penetrating, and at times vulnerably raw, portrait of the work, art, and emotional lives of the members of All the Kings Men. All the Kings Men is a drag and cabaret inspired theater troupe based out of Boston. The troupe intrigues— on stage they perform as old ladies or appear to be women dressed as men or men dressed as women. Their electrifying, award-winning show makes audiences laugh while also questioning themselves and the world. Behind the scenes, Katie, Maria, Julee, Karin, Jill and Leighsa, the members of All the Kings Men, practice hard, spend long hours on the road, and struggle to “make it”—they want All the Kings Men to be a household name.

This film is presented in English with English subtitles.

Challenging and entertaining, Play in the Gray is a documentary that turns gender on its head by exploring the personal lives behind a small group of Boston-based drag theatre performers, All the Kings Men (ATKM). the troupe takes viewers on a ride through extreme gender presentation and frustrations regarding the limited tolerance - even within the queer community - for that gray area between She and He.

World premiering to great acclaim at the 2010 Palm Springs Film Festival, Is it Just Me? is a contemporary romantic comedy that explores the complications of finding Mr. Right. Is it Just Me? recently won best narrative feature award during the inaugural Michigan Film Awards. Lead actor Nicholas Downs, Director J. C. Calciano, and producer Michael Amato in attendance.

Frustrated by his ongoing failure to meet Mr. Right, columnist Blaine stumbles upon what might be his perfect match in an online chat room -- Xander, a sweet, hunky musician, who's recently moved to LA. While smitten, Blaine discovers that he's been chatting to Xander under his go-go dancer roommate Cameron’s profile. When Xander wants to meet in person Blaine forces Cameron to take his place. This leads to a battle for Zander's attention with Cameron and Blaine fighting to see if brains wins over beauty. J.C. Calciano's smart, funny, debut feature explores the frustration of finding the right one in a online world!

Many of us assume that there are only two genders and that being female or male follows from the sex of our biological bodies. Focusing on the art, photography and performances of four "alternative" gender artists Assume Nothing poses the questions: "What if 'male' and 'female' are not the only options? How do other genders express themselves through art?" Assume Nothing takes its title from the work of renowned NZ photographer Rebecca Swan's book "Assume Nothing" (2004), which reveals an extraordinary diversity of gender identity from the Pacific region and beyond. Assume Nothing creates "living" portraits of four artists featured in Swan's work, woven together by a portrait of Swan herself as an artist, blurring the conventions of documentary, animation, drama and gender in the process

In a South Pacific nation comprised of many cultures, the diversity that comprises the transgender worldwide family is captured by the artistry of Rebecca Swan. The New Zealand photographer combines parallel artistic, activist and gender transformative processes in her work. Swan’s personal and spiritual connection to the gender variant talent makes each photograph more of a progression than an image. Assume Nothing delves deeper into those represented in Swan’s artwork as she collaborates with individuals who are given control over their representation. (Description courtesy of Frameline 2009.)
