About AC

AC Lamberty is a trans fag filmmaker, writer, artist and event producer. He creates genre-leaning work that subverts traditional notions of representation and puts gay/trans bodies and sexuality at the forefront. A born and raised Midwesterner, AC’s Minnesotan roots and queer coming-of-age in Los Angeles inform his work. His short films and screenplays have received top honors from film festivals across the U.S., including NewFest, Hollyshorts, the Nashville and Omaha Film Festivals, QueerWrites and Roze Filmdagen. AC is a 2024 New Roots writer in residency, and was a 2022 Lambda Literary Writers Retreat for Emerging LGBT Voices screenwriting fellow. He is currently the co-host of the Feminist Frequency Radio podcast, a pop culture commentary and review podcast, and the creator and editor in chief of Gelée, a digital pop culture zine published through Los Angeles literary magazine Currant Jam. As a producer and organizer, AC produces queer nightlife events in the Los Angeles area, and serves as the program manager for entertainment advocacy non-profit ReFrame.

His favorite George Michael song is “A Different Corner.”
