EP 72: Breaking Boundaries with Director/Producer Brit Fryer
Dive into the vibrant world of queer and trans filmmaking with Brit Fryer, a visionary director and producer based in Brooklyn, NY. Through Forest Ave Films, Brit explores themes of gender, queerness, and identity with a unique and participatory approach to nonfiction storytelling.
Born in Chicago and raised in the suburbs, Brit's connection to his hometown influences his work, despite his current East Coast base. Graduating from Carleton College's Cinema and Media Studies Program, Brit has honed his craft to create impactful and thought-provoking films.
From the award-winning "Caro Comes Out" to the Vimeo Staff Pick "Across, Beyond, and Over," Brit's filmography showcases his dedication to amplifying marginalized voices. His recent film, "The Script," co-directed with Noah Schamus, delves into the complexities of language within the trans and nonbinary communities.
As a producer, Brit has contributed to acclaimed projects like Crystal Kayiza’s "Rest Stop," which received the Short Film Jury Award for US Fiction at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival. Collaborating with filmmakers like Lydia Cornett and Noah Schamus, Brit continues to push boundaries in the realm of nonfiction filmmaking.
Supported by prestigious institutions like The Sundance Institute, PBS, POV, and HBO Documentary Films, Brit's work has been recognized at festivals worldwide, including CPH: DOX, Indie Grits, NewFest, and BFI Flare.
Join us as we explore Brit Fryer's journey as a filmmaker, his commitment to amplifying underrepresented voices, and his exciting upcoming projects.
