Buck Angel documentary ‘Mr. Angel’ - about the life of the transgender adult star - available on DVD in December In the United States, it’s Thanksgiving Day on Thursday, November 28, 2013. It’s an inspirational time of the year for millions, so what’s more appropriate than the December 3 release of QC Cinema’s DVD Mr. Angel? Directed by Dan Hunt, Mr. Angel is described in the film’s press release as "an inspirational story of rare perseverance" that features "an unlikely hero": Buck Angel, himself described as a "transgender advocate, educator, and porn pioneer." As found in the SXSW Film Festival’s synopsis of Mr. Angel, Buck Angel "was born female yet always knew he was male." His parents raised him as a boy until he reached adolescence, and that’s when things took a downhill turn: drug addiction, homelessness, suicide attempts. Eventually, Buck Angel underwent a double mastectomy.

Buck Angel, transgender porn star, filmmaker, speaker and transgender advocate, has released a new documentary titled “Mr. Angel.”
The 68-minute film will premiere at this year’s SXSW film festival. The film is groundbreaking because it candidly touches on subjects that society often tends to misunderstand or even sneer at. Mirroring the film, the premiere itself is innovative because many other film festivals rejected it.
In an email to HuffPost Gay Voices, Angel noted, “It’s a pretty big deal as some of the other 'big festivals' turned us away as being too 'subversive.'"
The premiere takes place March 9 at 7:30Pm. Watch a trailer for the film above.

The fest, which takes place every spring in Austin, Texas, began in 1987, and has continued to grow in size every year. The fest announced the first wave of films back in early January, and the lineup included some highly anticipated films such as The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, Evil Dead, Downloaded and Spring Breakers. Now the full lineup has been announced, and it just might be one of the best lineups the festival has ever programmed.
SXSW takes place March 8-16 in Austin Texas. Here are just some of the films we are excited about.
