Drama and divas and duct tape, oh my! Welcome to the world of Pageant, the exhilarating backstage documentary about the 34th Miss Gay America Pageant. Greeted by standing ovations at film festivals across the country (and winner of the coveted “Audience Award” in San Francisco, Miami and New York), Pageant follows five men as they compete to be Miss Gay America. As we get to know these men and their supportive families and friends, we come to appreciate the hard work and sacrifice that it takes to be one of the most fabulous female impersonators in the nation. Before long, the suspense, sparkle and surprise of the actual competition take over as we anxiously anticipate whose wig might finally cradle the tiara. Yet, amidst the astounding production numbers, astonishing physical transformations and antic costume changes, Pageant remains a simple, inspirational story of the beauty realized while pursuing one’s dreams.
This collection includes the featured film Strange Aeons directed by Eric Morgret (with English subtitles, commentary, a bonus "making of" featurette and slideshow), Patrick Weber's short film Maria's Hubris and the animated shorts From Beyond by Michael Granberry and Don't Feed the Book by Robin Ator. The disc is also packed with special features including an interview with director John Carpenter, trailers from the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival, trailers and much more! Get your copy today!
