Lilly Wachowski & Anarchists United Board Leslie Anderson Leather Archive Documentary From Shelley Gustavson And Curtis Matzke


Lilly Wachowski has joined the Chicago-based queer documentary as Executive Producer under her Anarchists United Studios banner.

The documentary, which is in production and seeking donations and private investment, comes from directors Shelley Gustavson and Curtis Matzke and highlights Leslie Anderson, a conservator who studies a generation of Leathermen and Leatherwomen lost to AIDS. Deep within the basement of Chicago’s Leather Archives & Museum, Leslie works to preserve the items of queer elders left behind, as well as the memories of their community, while simultaneously going on a journey of self-discovery and reconnecting with people from their own life before it is too late. “We’re thrilled to have Lilly and her wonderful team help bring Leslie’s story to life,” said Matzke, who also serves as the film’s cinematographer.
