Director D. Smith couldn’t be happier about her new documentary, “Kokomo City,” being compared to 1990’s “Paris Is Burning.”
“I think it’s a tremendous comparison because ‘Paris Is Burning’ was so groundbreaking when it happened,” she recently told CNN. “I will never forget the first time I saw it, so for people to compare such a film to what I’ve done with my first film, I’m just blown away by that.” “Paris Is Burning” gave the world a glimpse into the ballroom culture in New York City, shining a spotlight on the LGBTQ+ community of the mid-to-late 1980s there.
Her desire to tell the stories of trans women who had to turn to sex work came from her own experience of how difficult it can be to find employment in a world that is sometimes far from accepting. Plus, Smith said, she believes that on some levels the trans experience has become “boring to people.” “I’m glad that people want us protected,” she said.
