LOVE, JAMIE

 
 

Outfest Los Angeles 2023 Grand Jury Prize for Outstanding Documentary Short Film

The story of Jamie Diaz, a transgender artist incarcerated in Texas, and the enduring friendship that brought her art to the world beyond the prison walls.

“As the attack on trans people escalates every day, we want to offer this film as a celebration of life and resiliency and dignity. This is a story about a beautiful friendship, creating one’s chosen family, and the restorative power of art.” – Karla Murthy, Director

“Love, Jamie is the powerful and exuberant trans story we need right now; a life-affirming documentary of one incarcerated trans woman’s journey towards acceptance through her art.” – Zackary Drucker, Executive Producer

“Karla Murthy’s film feels like a miracle.” – Joey Moser, Awards Daily

As what can be considered one of the most important and touching films from Outfest 2023, Love, Jamie is a story about transformation and transcendence…A story that will not only move you, but remind you how important a chosen family can be. – Jonathan P. Higgins Ed.D., INTO
