Filmmaker Lisa Leeman and animation artist Gabi reconnect twenty-five years after Leeman profiled the evangelical transgender artist’s transition in the 1990 documentary Metamorphosis (Sundance Filmmakers’ Trophy/ POV). Now middle-aged, the two artists rekindle a lapsed friendship as they reckon with the past and face their “third chapter.”  Filmed over nine years as they navigate a series of crossroads in their sixties, Walk by Me weaves past and present to explore aging and friendship, art and resiliency, faith and gender — and the blurred boundaries in documentary filmmaking.  The film challenges ideas often taken for granted: that aging equals decline; that gender is strictly binary; that you can be too old to pursue your dreams.
