FILM SPONSORSHIP
Todd Flaherty‘s charming independent comedy about a drag queen in search of herself.
Hedonist by day, drag queen by night: Judy is an irrepressible free spirit, headstrong daydreamer and crazy vamp at the same time. Together with his best friend, drag queen Chrissy, Judy lives and performs in perfect symbiosis. That is, until Chrissy‘s priorities suddenly shift relationship-wise and Judy, disillusioned, is forced to question his life plan and his art – and rediscover himself in the process.
A black-humored comedy reminiscent of independent hits like Frances Ha, Chrissy Judy explores the universal pain of a breakup with best friends and asks the question: what do you do when your chosen family is no longer there for you? In his impressive feature debut, director Todd Flaherty not only stars himself, but also wrote the script and edited the film.
