Featured/TRANSGENDER Short
What's a girl to do when a rare hair-loss condition leaves her with an obsession for zany wigs and make-up? Become a drag queen, of course! Prada Hamburg, child of the famous shoe designer, may not have any hair, but she does have a fabulous wig collection. Having always been an outsider, Prada finally finds her niche when she lands a job at a kooky drag bar full of colourful characters - a world of sequins, feathers and false eyelashes - and assumes the new identity of Prada Handbag. When Prada is mistaken for a drag queen, she decides to take the stage herself as a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman, and discovers that acceptance - and self-acceptance - can be found in the most unlikely of places. Muriel's Wedding meets Priscilla - Queen of the Desert in this glitzy, glam cinematic extravaganza which ravishes the eye and warms the heart.

CENTERPIECE OUTREACH Film/Featured
SPEAKproductions presents Were the World Mine, a musical feature film based on their award-winning short musical film, Fairies, which has screened in over 75 international film festivals including the Tribeca film festival and Outfest LA. If you had a love-potion, who would you make fall madly in love with you? Timothy, prone to escaping his dismal high school reality through dazzling musical daydreams, gets to answer that question in a very real way. After his eccentric teacher casts him as Puck in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, he stumbles upon a recipe hidden within the script to create the play’s magical, purple love-pansy. Armed with the pansy, Timothy’s fading spirit soars as he puckishly imposes a new reality by turning much of his narrow-minded town gay, beginning with the rugby-jock of his dreams. Ensnaring family, friends and enemies in this heart-wrenching chaos, Timothy forces them to walk a mile in his musical shoes. The course of true love never did run smooth, but by the end of this moving musical comedy of errors based on director Tom Gustafson’s prolific award-winning short film, Fairies, the bumpy ride comes to a heartfelt conclusion. With vibrant imagery, a first-rate ensemble cast and innovative music rivaling the best of pop/rock and contemporary Broadway, Were the World Mine attempts to push modern gay cinema and musical film beyond expectation.
