MARKIE IN MILWAUKEE, a documentary film by Matt Kliegman
Executive produced by Fessenden
and presented in association with Glass Eye Pix
is proud to announce its world premiere at the 2019 Slamdance Film Festival.
A mid-western transgender woman struggles with the prospect of de-transitioning
under the pressures of her fundamentalist church, family and community.
Says Fessenden: “Markie is a powerful film that deals with issues of society’s harsh gaze and the struggle to be yourself. I was very struck by this story and am proud to have supported the project in its final stages of Post Production. I look forward to getting the film out to the public. And Slamdance is the perfect launch for this compelling and humane portrait.”
