Elvira Nana Lind – Filmmaker – Songs for Alexis.
Matt Micucci interviews filmmaker Elvira Nana Lind, whose film “Songs for Alexis” was shown at IDFA 2014. She tells us about how she met the central subject of the documentary Ryan Cassata, how this is as much a universal story about being a teenager as it is about the LGBT community and how this film has inspired people who have seen it so far.
“Songs for Alexis” is an endearing coming-of-age story about a teenage transgender guitarist named Ryan and his girlfriend and muse Alexis. This is a film about love, identity and perseverance.
