Francheska: Prairie Queen

documentary, 2022

It’s hard to become a drag superstar when you have to show up for your shift at the nursing home. Miss Queen follows front line worker Francheska Dynamites as she tries to trade a life of 3 jobs and endless work hours for a successful drag career, all while living in a tiny conservative town. Behind the scenes images by Uncommon Originals and Angeline Simon.
