Marginal Production Cultures concentrates its intersectional analysis on considerations of how race, sexuality, and gender non-conformity complicate media production and distribution practices. Offering insight into a diverse range of minority media cultures, this book relies on personal interviews, ethnographic research, and archival materials to examine LGBTQ production and distribution strategies. It documents the specific infrastructures and relationships minority media makers develop to collect resources, negotiate prejudice, and see their work through to the screen, investigating the practitioners, communities, networks, festivals, and institutions that sustain the development of queer and trans media. To affirm a dedication to studying marginal production cultures is to stress the need to develop understandings of how axes of race, sexuality, and gender non-conformity relate to media-makers’ professional opportunities and access to training, technologies, social capital, and funding.
