JC Premieres Short Film at San Francisco Transgender Film Festival

SAN FRANCISCO - Nov. 11, 2021 - PRLog -- Flush with saucy humor and social commentary, The Clayton Effect is a semi-autobiographical view on transgender life. Inspired by the foundational film editing principle developed in the 1900s (known as the Kuleshov Effect), this silent-but-deadly movie, lathered with a throwback feel and a razor-sharp modern twist, takes the plunge into representations of gender.

"It means so much to me to be a part of this festival more than any other", says JC, "because you have to earn your way into it with the blood, sweat, and tears of a life without basic human rights. It's absolutely imperative that we tell our own stories, in our own ways. I'm so thankful to artistic director Shawna Virago for being a hero and literal rock star for the trans community."

Now in its 24th year, the SFTFF is the first and longest-running festival dedicated to films by transgender and gender-nonconforming filmmakers. Catch the world premiere of The Clayton Effect along with 42 other films, featuring a range of genres, streaming online at https://sftff.org from November 11-14.
