Like surprises? Buy a ticket in advance to this Awards screening, which will be selected by the audience from prior public screenings. Or buy an awards pass for access to all awards screenings here. The First Place Audience Award Winner - Documentary is TransFatty Lives.
Director Patrick O’Brien is “TransFatty,” a former NYC DJ and current online meme-maker who in 2005 was diagnosed with ALS and given only a few years to live. In this autobiographical account of his own terminal illness, O’Brien sharply and shamelessly documents his physically constraining, emotionally wrenching, yet ultimately life-affirming battle with cheekily stylish documentary execution and a healthy dose of all the heartbreaking, heartwarming, and impossibly hilarious moments that life has to offer.
