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, art and resiliency, faith, friendship, and the blurred boundaries in documentary filmmaking.  The film invites audiences to question ideas often taken for granted: that aging equals decline; that gender is strictly binary; that you can be too old to pursue your dreams; or that individuals are solely responsible for the situations they find themselves in, versus the systems we live within.
