For decades, Louisiana's Crime Against Nature by Solicitation (CANS) law has been a tool of systemic oppression against queer and trans communities, especially Black trans women. CANS Can't Stand, directed by Matt Nadel and Megan Plotka, tells the powerful story of a group of Black trans women in New Orleans leading the fight to repeal this law and push for trans liberation statewide. Produced by Lynwood Films in association with Operation Restoration and NOVAC, the documentary sheds light on a critical and ongoing struggle for justice.
I designed the titles and poster for CANS Can't Stand, where my work supported the 2022 festival circuit cut of the documentary short. CANS Can't Stand was featured in Outfest Los Angeles, Out on Film Atlanta, Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival, and the Provincetown International Film Festival. In 2023, CANS was released by The New Yorker as part of its acclaimed documentary series.
