Director Kalil Cohen named local LGBT hero by KCET

Our Southern California Director, Kalil Cohen, has been named a "local LGBT hero" by KCET for his work founding the Los Angeles Transgender Film Festival, now in its fifth year. A short video about his work as a filmmaker and film festival founder is airing on KCET throughout June for LGBT Heritage Month.   Local Hero: Kalil Cohen "My passion is building community through art because I believe in the transformative power of storytelling as a tool for self-empowerment, education and cultivating connections."   Kalil Cohen is an artist advocate who uses his creative talent to organize and empower the transgender community.    Read the complete bio and watch the video on  Kalil here: http://www.kcet.org/socal/ local_heroes/lgbt/local-hero- kalil-cohen.html
