Filmed over ten years, “Transcending Ellenville” is a feature documentary work-in-progress that follows three transgender friends as they struggle to get by in rural America. Ashlee, James, and Amy are working-class people determined to live and love freely in the place they call home. Despite the challenges, these small-town trailblazers find agency in each other.

As a documentary, where you sometimes have to add information, I do not want to add another layer to postpone the footage; instead, I want to use type as an active element you can see through.
I want this identity to have a nostalgic yet bold, upbeat, and quirky aesthetic.

You can see more about the project on its website.
