Synopsis

Duane Flynn had it all: a beautiful wife, two wonderful sons, a successful career and was a respected minister in the United Methodist Church in Gastonia, NC. But Duane had a secret. At age eight, he started wearing his mother’s clothing and grandmother’s clip on earrings. He questioned his gender identity and his very identity through college, divorce, and his now his 4o-year marriage to Pam. Dawn attempted to suppress her true identity for five decades. Proper Pronouns tells the story of Dawn as she seeks validation in the pulpit as a transgender, ordained minister and reconciliation in her marriage, problems she did not face when she was Duane.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 5

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
