About the Project
Filmmaker Lisa Leeman and animation artist Gabi reconnect twenty-five years after Leeman profiled Gabi's gender transition in the 1990 documentary Metamorphosis (Sundance Filmmakers’ Trophy/ POV). Now middle-aged, the two artists rekindle a lapsed friendship as they reckon with the past and face uncertain futures. Filmed over nine years as Gabi navigates a series of crossroads in her sixties, Walk by Me weaves past and present to explore aging, art and resiliency, faith, friendship, and the blurred boundaries in documentary filmmaking.
GREAT NEWS - Lisa has been awarded a 2024 MacDowell Fellowship and a 2025 Bogliasco Fellowship to continue writing and editing of Walk by Me!
We're honored that Creative Capital included us in On Our Radar in 2020. We continually raise funds to finish our edit - thank you to all who are donating to help us finish the film next year.
