Talk about a sharp turn. Director Kimberly Reed is best known for her 2008 feature Prodigal Sons, an autobiographical documentary about Reed’s journey as a transgender woman returning home to her small town high school reunion where she not only must confront the people who knew her as a football quarterback when living as a male, but also the strange story of her adopted brother’s newly discovered heritage to Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth and his declining mental health. It was an astonishing film and one that The Film Experience loved and covered at the time.
In the time since, Reed brought her story to audiences once more in the opera As One (which I also covered in 2014) as well as produced Paul Goodman Changed My Life and last year’s The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson for Netflix. It was a great surprise...

Bae Doo-na first started out as a model, and then worked her way up as an actress. At first, her talent was overlooked until she landed roles in critically acclaimed films.
She starred in Park Chan-wook’s Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002) and Bong Joon-ho’s The Host (2006)–two of the most popular Korean crossover hits of the last decade.
“People might say that since my mother is a theater actor, I became an actress. But to me, those experiences probably had the opposite effect. On the contrary, because I saw many great actors working with my mother, I thought this was a job only people with extraordinary talent could do.”
Bae Doo-na began her international career by way of her much discussed performance in the Japanese film, Air Doll (2009). She won acting awards from three film festivals in Japan for her performance.
