Kokomo City


United States | 2023 | 73 min | English

Synopsis

The feature directorial debut of Grammy-nominated producer, singer, and songwriter, D. Smith, who made history as the first trans woman cast on a primetime unscripted TV show, and filmed and edited this wildly entertaining and unfiltered documentary that passes the mic to four black transgender sex workers in Atlanta and New York City, Daniella Carter, Koko Da Doll, Liyah Mitchell, and Dominique Silver, as they hold nothing back while breaking down the walls of their profession. The film won the Sundance Film Festival’s Next Innovator Award and Next Audience Award, and the Berlinale’s Audience Award in the Panorama Documentary section.

Director

She is a two-time Grammy-nominated producer, singer, and songwriter. She has produced and written for Cee-lo Green, Estelle, Katy Perry, Andre 3000, Monica, Lloyd, Fantasia, Nipsey Hussle, and Billy Porter. In 2014, she decided to walk in her truth and transition into the woman she always knew she was. The silver lining came with the creation of Kokomo City, which has breathed new life into her.
