Filmography
filmmaker's note Having dated since high school and together through Jess's recent gender transition, both Libby and Jess have been struggling to define themselves outside of their co-dependent marriage.

The Dress You Have On approaches the subject with honesty and a love for the characters and their bond.
The Dress You Have On stars a transgender actress and a cis-gender actress, has a female director, and had women in several key positions.
