What strikes one most about LUCIA LUCAS, the American opera singer now based in Germany who is the subject of a new documentary is her sheer passion for both life and opera. In the film director James Kicklighter captures that so succinctly as he profiles Lucas as she is about to make her US debut performing the lead role in a new production of Don Giovanni for The Tulsa Opera.
Lucas is a trans woman. Having said that the disarmingly charming Lucas is neither a martyr nor pioneer to the cause. She is a human being and an extremely talented singer who just happens to also be a trans woman.
Having been so caught up in her on-screen charisma, Queerguru tracked Lucas down in Europe to talk about the significance of both her performance and this new documentary. The film is being released on VOD on most major streaming platforms, on June 1st to mark the start of Pride Month.

BLUE SUNSHINE is a remarkable film . The debut film from Indian filmmaker Samyuktha Vijayan who wrote, directed and starred in this captivating new drama, that lays out a story of transitioning that is refreshingly unsensationalized. Based on her own journey Vijayan’s tale is powerfully uplifting and although it doesn’t beg us for support, it reminds one that they so deserve it. This is a story that need be shared as widely as possible to help us understand our trans brothers and sisters, better and I so hope it reaches the widest possible audience. On the eve of the film premiering at Wicked Queer, Boston’s LGBTQ Film Fest , she talked Queerguru about the journey of the film to date and where she hopes it will lead to in the future.

Kudos to both Sony Pictures Television and ABC TV for their groundbreaking move casting transgender actor Emmett Preciado as a Guest Star on The Good Doctor. Preciado plays a fully rounded trans character devoid of all the cliched sterotypes which is a major breakthrough for mainstream TV.
Queerguru tracked the disarmingly charming Preciado to talk about his take on it all. Our prediction that he is destined for a bright future both in acting and also as a role model of future generations of trans people everywhere.
