I had the pleasure of making tintypes of
Hilary Goldberg and
Michelle Tea at
Photobooth last night - the co-producers for the movies-version of Michelle's book
Valencia. Seeing its premiere at the Castro theater during the Frameline Film Festival last June was such a moving experience of community and celebration - of Michelle's hard work throughout the years, the combined efforts of all the different chapters' directors (including Hilary's mushroom chapter, which was excellent), and of their work as producers in putting the film together and distributing it.... For all the ups and downs of living in San Francisco all these years, it was one of those moments when I was proud to still be here....
