Israel Luna's controversial film shot in Dallas–Fort
Worth about a group of transsexual entertainers who
are brutally attacked on a group date and turn into
ass-kicking "tranimals" to fight back.
When
this film premiered at The Tribeca Film Festival GLAAD
asked that the film be removed from the lineup.
“GLAAD
was recently alerted by community members and allies
to a film called “Ticked-Off Trannies with Knives”
that will be screened at the upcoming Tribeca Film
Festival. “GLAAD has since seen the film in
its entirety and says that the title is far from the
only problem with this film.”
The GLAAD PR director Richard Ferraro went on to say
“The film, its title and its marketing misrepresent
the lives of transgender women and use grotesque,
exploitative depictions of violence against transgender
women in ways that make light of the horrific brutality
they all too often face,”
But
these dill-weeds messed with the wrong chicks cause
Ticked-Off Trannies With Knives did screen
at the festival and had a successful run on the film
festival circuit.
