These are the stories of people who risked their careers and their lives to be their authentic selves. These are the stories of people who persevere in an industry that undervalues women, LGBT folk, and people of color to pursue their passions. These are the stories of people who found themselves in the pages of science fiction and fantasy or didn't and wrote themselves in any way. These are the stories of people who turned to the Internet to build communities that transcended geography and bigotry and then found themselves again the target of hatred and harassment. TransGeek Movie is about making a place for transgender people to tell their own stories in their own voices. The film uses in-depth interviews over several years to explore the lives, hobbies, politics, careers, and thoughts of transgender geeks. It features an original score composed by Zoë Blade, a British electronic musician and transgender woman, and was co-produced and directed by Sayer Johnson, a long-time Trans activist and founder of the Metropolitan Saint Louis Trans Umbrella group, a support and advocacy organization for the gender-diverse community of the city of St. Louis in the United States.
