====''Casting Pearls''==== |

''Casting Pearls'' is a short movie produced by Deep Stealth Productions. The comedic film has Addams in the lead role as Cassandra, a struggling transsexual actress trying to make her mark in the film industry battling the perpetual prejudice and bias against the transgender people. Its storyline spans one day of casting where Cassandra endures the hurtful and contemptuous remarks hurled at her with her perseverance and professionalism. ''Casting Pearls'' attempts to show that the prejudice can not impede the real contributions of the transgender community.{{Citation needed|date=July 2008}} |
