Houston lawyer Danielle Joy “DJ” Healey, 61, is the subject of a new documentary called Our Dad, Danielle. The film is already receiving awards and recognition at film festivals for telling the story of Healey’s experience coming out as transgender, and her determination to pay forward the work of past activists to make Texas—and the world—a safer place for the trans community.

Filmmaker couple S.E. King and Leah Judge produced the documentary. King, who has a personal connection with Healey, also directed the film. The two were neighbors—a serendipitous connection that eventually led to the film collaboration.

“This grew out of a project I conceived to film a series of very short sketches I had written to post on the web about the lighter side of the trans experience,” Healey explains. “It was a family project that my wife, daughters, and I could do together, acting as ourselves. I hired S.E. to produce and direct it, and after a couple of days of filming in March 2018, she nicely told us that while our daughter Sarah was a tremendously talented actress, apparently neither my wife or I had any talent for acting. S.E. had a strong background in [writing, directing, producing, and developing for tv and digital streaming companies], and asked us to switch gears and do a documentary about my transition as a practicing lawyer and as a person living in Texas.”

King, a genderqueer lesbian, identified with Healey’s struggles. The filmmaker grew up in a conservative Christian family and is the youngest of six kids. As a closted queer kid, she felt heavily tormented by cultural expectations to please people and fit in. Her escape was in film and television, which King credits as the genesis of her passion for the art of filmmaking.

absolutely gross.

on another note, can you technically refer to this firm as biglaw? it seems like a huge IP boutique which i think disqualifies it. however, they are v100 and do pretty much pay market/lockstep.
