Re: Happy October!
(Anonymous) 2021-10-02 05:20 am (UTC)(link)All this sounds so exciting!!! If you're inclined to answer:
1. When and how did you get into drag?
2. What's the día de los muertos film about? (so cool you got your family in on it!)
Re: Happy October!
1. it kind of happened on accident really! i work as a graphic designer, and am also involved in local lgbtq advocacy stuff and that lead me to working as a graphic designer for a guy who produces drag shows in town. i make all his posters for shows where he brings up queens from the big city. eventually people in town went to him, as a producer, saying they were interested in performing themselves, and we formed a cabaret troupe where folks do drag and burlesque. our turnabout ball is on the 16th! and that's when i'm performing for the first time as my corny ass drag king persona miguel del sol ✨~
2. i was trying to come up with SOMETHING even tangentially día de los muertos related bc all the other films being created for the event were just generic ghost stories, but the event itself is día de los muertos this year (it's a long standing annual october fundraiser). so i called my grandma to ask her about her mom for my film, and she had a ton to say. in the middle of her stream of consciousness i thought to ask if i could record her for my film and she enthusiastically agreed! so i ended up kind of forming the script around the sound bytes i have of her talking about praying to ancestors and how that practice is more significant to her than praying to a saint and stuff.
it's called lotería mística! so in the film my lil brother is playing lotería w his friends, he gets a call from his grandma who tells him a bit about this and inspires them to do a cheesy ghost summoning ritual bc one of them thinks their room is haunted, and a bunch of ghosts significant to their families and culture show up instead of whoever is "haunting" their room~. then the lotería deck comes back into significance to help them understand what's going on kinda. my sister in the background is dressing up as like 7 different spirits haha it's very silly but it's fun.
