More than three years ago cinematographer/director PJ Raval heard about a small town in Colorado that was “the sex change capital of America.” Intrigued, he contacted the doctor, herself a transsexual woman, and began a conversation that resulted in a two-and-a-half year film project, Trinidad.
“I had never heard of this town,” Raval told Hair Balls after a Saturday night screening here in town. “Then I read a couple of articles saying it was a town of transsexuals with an abnormal amount of large women’s stores. I thought, ‘That sounds crazy, I gotta go check it out.'”
