Actor/director Mark Duplass has defended the creation of his new Found Footage Feature Fund, a joint initiative with the Transgender Film Center. He described the fund as a way to help trans filmmakers “tell their own stories” and emphasized that representation matters not just on screen, but behind the camera too. Responding to backlash, Duplass posted on X: “For those of you who have responded negatively to this initiative, thank you for confirming the need to support the voices of those who merely wish to exist without discrimination. I’ll see you at the movies!” #MarkDuplass #LGBTQNews #Movies #TransNews #TransAlly
