We already told you how supercool it is that PJ Raval and Jay Hodges‘ documentary Trinidad is premiering at the Los Angeles Film Festival in June. But did we forget to mention that they need a little help getting the thing spit-polished for the premiere? That’s where you, dear reader, come in, with your cash dollars and your comfy standing-ovation-shoes on. You can check out a very special benefit screening tonight of the doc, which “uncovers Trinidad, Colorado’s transformation from Wild West outpost to ‘sex change capital of the world,’ and follows three transgender women who may steer the rural ranching town toward becoming the ‘transsexual mecca.'” Sounds juicy, no?
