Directed by Chase Joynt and written by Joynt and Morgan P. Page, Framing Agnes uncovers the real-life stories of six trans individuals, including that of trans trailblazer Agnes Torres, divulged from the archives of the UCLA Gender Clinic in the 1950s under a research study lead by sociologist Harold Garfinkle.
Joynt and Page break the fourth wall throughout the documentary with personal interviews with the actors as well as giving us behind-the-scenes access to the re-enactment scenes taking us on their journey of their directorial decision-making process.
We had the pleasure to speak to Joynt to tell us about the experience of making Framing Agnes.
