We have been working on IDEN for five years and just finished! It has been quite the experience and I thank Iden and her family for sharing their story.
I began this project thinking it would simply be a documentary about the joys and hardships that accompany transitioning. But transgendered people are much more than their gender. This film is about much more than gender. IDEN is the story of a parent and a spouse navigating a changing relationship. It is a story about self-discovery. It is a story of loss and love, of death and rebirth. It is a story that will take you through the dark places of the mind to discover the beauty of the soul.
Our hope is Iden’s journey will help change the way that the world views the trans/non-binary/gender/queer community. This is not about going from Gender A to Gender B. It is about taking a raw and uniquely intimate journey from Not Self to Self.

Catherine has filmed a wide spectrum of fascinating people from the most powerful figures to the most overlooked in society. Now her attention turns to IDEN, a story about her niece, a bi-racial, firefighter/paramedic, married and parent of three children, who came out as a trans female at the age of 41.
