Ahead of the release, director Luke Willis shared, “Following Lady Camden the past few years through her rise to international fame has been an incredibly healing journey for me. Lady Camden/Rex’s journey to seek sanctuary in the theater is universal even beyond queer communities because — it is a story of searching for one’s place in the world. Everyone in all walks of life knows what it is to feel like an outsider. It is incredibly powerful to witness someone harness the courage to strike out and find where they do belong despite the odds. My hope is that you fall in love with Rex, fall in love with drag and most of all find strength and courage to persevere in your own journey to find belonging.”
