==History==
Deep Stealth Productions came into being when its protagonists, Calpernia Addams and Andrea James decided they could play a role in making the gender transition easier for the members of the transsexual community.

Calpernia and Andrea James had transitioned in very different circumstances. While Calpernia had to work in the perilous world of show-business as a Nashville performer and was not accepted as a woman by her family, Andrea had a successful career in advertising and transitioned with family support. Her experience in her field also helped her fight the commercial fraud which the people making the transition have to face.

The name of the company is a reference to "deep stealth" which is used as a slang in the transsexual community to mean "living without question of discovery in one's chosen gender identity." <ref> [http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1589/is_2003_July_22/ai_109270098 Transformations - our perspectives - transsexuals in film - The Advocate] </ref>

==Transamerica - The movie==
Calpernia and Andrea worked with [[Felicity Huffman]] for the main character, '''''"Bree" Osbourne''''', and the script of the movie.

Felicity, who had her own inhibitions about the subject, contacted Calpernia and Andrea to help her cut through the stereotypes in shaping the character.

Huffman wanted the character to have her own life experience which showed her as a unique person in her own right.<ref> [http://www.rainbownetwork.com/Film/detail.asp?iData=25456&iCat=9&iChannel=14&nChannel=Film Calpernia and Andrea's Interview on Rainbow Network] </ref>
