Embedded Files
In the wake of a terrifying encounter, an overwhelmed drag queen struggles under the weight of public attention.
Based on Kyle Casey Chu's true story.
"Sometimes the very best things arrive in small form. Such is the case with this 15-minute fictionalized short inspired by the traumatic aftermath of a real event … one of the most affecting and effective films in the (SFFILM) lineup."
— San Jose Mercury News
“A darkly funny fictionalized form. … The short explicates what victims go through when the media circus comes to town.”
— Mission Local
“Empowering.”
— Bitch Talk
"The film is as much about helplessly staring at a phone that’s blowing up as it is about processing trauma.”
— The San Francisco Standard
"A compelling film that stems from a real-life experience ... Well-performed and edited, this is a powerful short about why drag matters and the emotional impact of homophobia."
— San Francisco Bay Times
