Interview: Director James Kicklighter and "The Sound of Identity"
At first glance, one may assume the documentary "The Sound of Identity" will be a deep dive into the trans world of opera from the vantage point of Lucia Lucas—the first trans opera singer in the world to play the role of Don Giovanni. But instead of a singular view, director James Kicklighter exposes a rich perspective of a complex woman with an untraditional path, who strives to move people with her performances—to evoke emotion.
Jeanne Veillette Bowerman talks with Kicklighter about the creative process, structuring a documentary, and the stakes and consequences of representing real-life subjects in a film.
