Actress-Filmmaker M.C. Brennan has exciting news. After her transgender teen comedy, Dramatis Personae, won an Outfest Screenwriting Lab fellowship and was given a staged reading?with Exes and Oh?s auteur Lee Friedlander directing Nip/Tuck?s Willam Belli in the lead role?things are really heating up.
?The Outfest experience led to a lot of interest from producers and now I?m in the process of preparing to direct the script as my first feature! There are some really exciting folks who?ve expressed an interest in being a part of it, and hopefully over the next couple of months?those pieces will fall into place.?
The Arizona native, who?s lived in San Francisco, Seattle and Los Angeles, began making short films while still in high school, while she was acting in local theatrical productions, commercials and 1985?s gender bending flick Just One of The Guys. The multi-talented trans woman has covered sports for Phoenix?s LGBT Echo magazine, designed posters for Dr. Demento, written over 150 songs and recorded five full-length albums.
