FEATURE FILM SHOWCASE – Winner BEST DOCUMENTARY FEATURE FILM for 2021 Toronto LGBTQ+ Film Festival.
OUT LOUD, 52min., USA, Documentary
Directed by Gail Willumsen
OUT LOUD chronicles the first season of the historic Trans Chorus of Los Angeles, the largest group of transgender and gender nonconforming people anywhere in the world who regularly sing together. Led by Lindsey Deaton, who co-founded the chorus and served as its first artistic director, these choristers, many of whom have no musical training, come together to hone their craft and find their voices. Some choristers have the added challenge of coping with changes to their vocal range as they take hormones to transition. The stakes are high for all as they prepare for their 2016 public concert debut in this inspiring story of an extraordinary choir.
