Fake heiress Anna Sorokin, otherwise known as Anna Delvey, is working with Surviving R. Kelly producer Bunim/Murray Productions on a limited documentary series.
Sorokin, whose wild story of how she bilked banks for hundreds of thousands as she became a New York socialite, is currently the subject of Netflix’s Shonda Rhimes-penned series Inventing Anna starring Julia Garner. The nine-part scripted series premiered last week.
The docuseries will explore the next chapter in her life.
It comes as she is currently in detention by immigration authorities, awaiting resolution to her pending case of overstaying her visa. Sorokin was sentenced for her crimes in 2021 and was released in 2021.
The series, however, will not look back at her crazy life or crimes, but begin where Inventing Anna ends. It will follow the fast-moving events as her future changes day-to-day. While her final destination is uncertain, the series aims to give...

The 29th Annual Whitaker St. Louis International Film Festival (Sliff) wrapped on Nov. 22, 2020, but Cinema St. Louis is providing cinephiles another opportunity to view the event’s award winners in the Best of Fest, which is available virtually from Jan. 22-31, 2021.
A few of Sliff’s honorees are already or imminently out in the world — “Transhood” is available on HBO Max, and “9to5: The Story of a Movement” premieres on PBS’s “Independent Lens” on Feb. 1 — but Best of Fest reprises the other 19 winners of the festival’s juried and audience-choice awards.
Like 2020’s Sliff, the Best of Fest is an online-only event and is again presented with our virtual-festival partner, Eventive. Nine features and a program of 10 shorts will be available to stream during all 10 days of the event, and several of the films will once more include recorded Q&As with filmmakers and documentary subjects. Geographic restrictions will apply to some films.

Bunim-Murray Prods. chairman/CEO Gil Goldschein is leaving after a 20-year run at the pioneering unscripted production company. Goldschein, who was elevated to the supremo role in April 2015, said he plans to pursue other opportunities “at the intersection of technology and entertainment.”
Goldschein will remain with Bunim-Murray (also abbreviated as Bmp) until Feb. 15, 2021 to help with the management transition. He took over as CEO of the Banijay-owned company more than five years ago from legendary co-founder Jonathan Murray, who was eager to shift his focus back to producing.
“At heart, I am an entrepreneur with a passion for taking on new challenges, which is why I feel the time is right to leave what has been my home for so long,” Goldschein said in a statement.
Goldschein first joined Bunim-Murray as director of business and affairs in 2001, later becoming general counsel and then chief operating officer in 2007 and president in...

A year and a half after Laverne Cox became the first transgender person to grace the cover of Time Magazine, National Geographic followed suit with its own explosive issue. For its 2016 cover story, The Gender Revolution, National Geographic’s Robin Hammond photographed 80 nine-year-olds in eight countries. Poised gracefully on the cover was nine-year-old Avery Jackson, staring serenely into the camera, her bright pink hair and outfit striking a vivid complement to the magazine’s iconic yellow border. Jackson is one of four transgender kids profiled in “Transhood,” a tender-hearted documentary that humanizes trans kids while avoiding many of the usual gawking pitfalls. Following a timeline when trans rights have been consistently under attack, “Transhood” is a vital record of what it’s like to grow up trans in the Trump era.

In the gentle and absorbing HBO documentary Transhood, director Sharon Liese conducts a microcosmic kind of longitudinal study on childhood gender transition. Filmed cinema verité-style over five years, starting in 2015, Transhood follows four Kansas City families in various stages of this conversely agonizing and rewarding process. Offering no narration, expert talking heads or text interstitials, Liese forgoes contextualizing the culture wars and instead lets her subjects speak for themselves. Their pathos, however, doesn’t always localize where you’d expect.
These kids’ frustrations range from gender dysphoria to celebrity fatigue to being outed by others before they were ready to do ...

When you’re a child, one of the most maddening things adults always say is how fast children grow up. If you’ve only lived a few years, it takes forever: The powers and privileges that come with being older are at once tantalizing and infinitely far away. Yet when the child’s lifetime is a fraction of yours, they change drastically if you look away for so much as a day; in the case of transgender childhood, moreover, even the subtlest transitions are seismic. Sharon Liese’s documentary “Transhood” maintains an artful bifocal perspective, capturing both youthful impatience and parental whiplash as it tracks the physical and emotional development of four trans children over the course of five years. The title’s evocation of Richard Linklater’s “Boyhood” can’t be accidental: In nonfiction form, Liese’s film aims for similarly striking, sensitive time-lapse rewards.
