CHRISSY JUDY

Director: Todd Flaherty | 96 min | USA | 2022

Judy's been described as a free spirit, a daydreamer, and a boy-crazy hot mess. But this will be the summer it all comes together for this ambitious, 30-something drag queen/cater-waiter and his best friend, Chrissy. That is, until Chrissy's priorities suddenly shift, forcing a disillusioned Judy to examine his life and priorities as a queer artist. He must rediscover himself or risk becoming an irrelevant solo act, both onstage and off.

This dark comedy Chrissy Judy explores the universal pain of breaking up with your best friends and questions, "What do you do when your chosen family no longer chooses you?"
