JUMP, DARLING
Phil Connell; 2020; Canada; 90 min.

Russell (Thomas Duplessie), an up-and-coming drag artiste on the run from his boyfriend and a stressful city life, escapes to the country and falls straight into the arms of Margaret, his aging grandmother (Cloris Leachman in one of her final roles, delivering a raw, emotional depiction of a matriarch in her declining years). As Margaret fights to retain her independence and avoid being put in a home, Russell decides to take to the stage once more, using a local bar to showcase his glittering, glamorous performances, whereupon sparks fly with the hot bartender. A hit on the festival circuit, this humorous and heart-tugging dramedy about reconnecting to your dreams and your roots is a drag queen journey with heart.

About the Author: Michael Strangeways

As the Editorial Director/Co-Owner, Michael Strangeways writes, edits and does about a million other jobs for Seattle Gay Scene, Puget Sound's most visited LGBTQ news, arts and entertainment website now celebrating its 14th year as a media outlet. A semi-proud Midwesterner by birth, he's lived in Seattle since 2000. He's also a film producer who would like you to check out the Jinkx Monsoon documentary, "Drag Becomes Him" now available on Amazon.com. In his spare time, he gets slightly obsessive about his love for old movies, challenging theater, "otters", vodka, chocolate, "I,Claudius", Lizzie Borden, real books made out of paper, disaster films, show tunes, Weimar era Germany, flea markets, pop surrealistic art, the sex lives of Hollywood actors both living and dead, kitties, chicken fried steak, haute couture and David Bowie. But, not necessarily in that order.
