, the feature directorial debut of two-time Grammy-nominated producer/singer/songwriter D. Smith, who made history as the first trans woman cast on a primetime unscripted TV show.
“Kokomo City is a miraculous cinematic debut by D. Smith,” said Magnolia Pictures President Eamonn Bowles. “Hilarious, revelatory, and wildly entertaining, and with a soundtrack for the ages, the film demolishes preconceived notions and announces a major multi-talent to the film world. We can’t wait to bring it to audiences.”
“Before this film, the trans narrative has created barriers that kept us isolated from humanity,” said D. Smith. “My hope is that this film will create a chain reaction of people seeing the full humanity of trans women.” Filmed, edited and directed by D. Smith, KOKOMO CITY is produced by Smith, Harris Doran, and Bill Butler. Executive producers are Lena Waithe, Rishi Rajani, Stacy Barthe, and William Melillo.
CAA Media Finance brokered the deal. Magnolia Head of International Sales Lorna Lee Torres and International Sales Manager Austin Kennedy will introduce the film to buyers at EFM.
