ROYALE

A DOCUMENTARY SHORT

Burdened by looming conservative legislation that aims to prohibit their performances, three Missouri drag queens navigate a changing landscape fueled by their passion for performance. ROYALE is a love letter to drag and found family, bridging celebration and liberation with the realities of local entertainers to honor midwestern queerness. It is an extravagant production, saturating the world with vibrant colors and slow-motion footage to reclaim a space that is being challenged outside of our own community.

ROYALE will premiere at the Stronger than Fiction Film Festival in May 2024.
