JEM’S DREAM HOME

Directed by: Louise-Marie Le Doussal | 30 min | Canada | 2022

Thanks Jem is living their last days in their Vancouver home; it has been sold, and they have been asked to leave. The pandemic had already made it difficult for the drag queen performer to stay afloat. The only way they know to cope is to channel it into their art, prompting one final shindig.
