Directors Statement

This documentary was created as a personal project for the Warhol Academy's Film and Post-Production Fellowship. One of my favorite parts of moving to Pittsburgh has been discovering its unique drag scene. I was lucky enough to work with two incredible queens and their entire drag family to highlight their humor, connection, talent, and impact on others. Long live bad drag!
