Abstract

The intimacy of friendship has always been a centerpiece to my life. The use of film in documenting friends has felt like a natural medium for capturing the essence of these relationships and the identities of those I hold dear.

In this piece, a day with sam, I illuminate the life and identity of my friend Sam. In this collaborative documentary film, I’ll work with Sam to share their story of gender identity and queerness.

Originally from Louisville, KY, Lilly Slaughter is pursuing an M.A. in Southern Studies with a focus on food systems. She holds a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Louisville, where she spent two years working in a behavioral health psychology research lab. Her interests in how food is grown, accessed, and prepared stem from her previous experiences working on farms and for food justice organizations in rural communities.
