Dear Lou Sullivan (2014)
Overview
The story of Lou Sullivan, a transgender man and AIDS activist. Cutting VHS footage of Sullivan's trailblazing appearances on talk shows with contemporary screenshots of Grindr users' bewildered responses to the filmmaker's own trans status, Dear Lou Sullivan is a provocative text exploring trans visibility, then and now. Commissioned by Visual AIDS in 2014 as part of ALTERNATE ENDINGS, a program of seven videos that bring together charged moments and personal memories amidst the public history of HIV/AIDS.
