In partnership with The Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies (CLAGS) at City
University of New York, the Robert Giard Foundation is proud to announce this
year's winner of the 2012-2013 Robert Giard Fellowship. The $7,500 award goes to
filmmaker Cary T. Cronenwett to will help him complete a 20-minute film/personal
essay centered on his relationship with close friend and creative partner Flo
McGarrell.
“A non-traditional love story, Go With Flo tells the story of
Flo’s life-long exploration of his transgender identity through his creative
work,” says Cronenwett. “The Robert Giard Foundation Fellowship will enable me
to complete post-production on Go With Flo to be released
alongside Kathy Goes to Haiti, our final film together.”
“Cary is a fascinating and articulate man with a great passion for his
work,” says Carl Sylvestre, president of The Robert Giard Foundation. “We were
impressed by his thoughtful, process-oriented approach to making Go With
Flo, and are eager to support his work with the largest fellowship devoted
to art centered on human sexuality, gender, and issues of LGBTQ identity."
