Here is more info:
A Wig and a Prayer - The Peaches Christ Story - Jeff Schlags (San Francisco, California)
A Wig and a Prayer takes us into the world of drag queen extraordinaire Peaches Christ, a.k.a. Joshua Grannell, whose Midnight Mass events, in San Francisco, have become immersive audience experiences combining song, dance, and joyful debauchery. Starring Joshua Grannell/Peaches Christ and featuring Cloris Leachman, Jennifer Tilly, and Barry Bostwick. 2015, 19 Min.
Peelers - Sevé Schelenz (Vancouver, Canada)
Peelers is at once a grindhouse film, a gore film, a twist on the zombie genre, and a very dark comedy, that sets the right mood for Halloween. Blue Jean Douglas is closing down her small-town strip club and leaving for good. Having handed over ownership of her club to a shrewd tycoon known as Chromagnum, she is eager to move on to the next chapter of her life. But when a group of coal miners show up, what starts out as a last hurrah for the club turns into a blood bath, as the bar patrons become increasingly and inexplicably violent. With time running out, Blue Jean steps up to the plate to stop the spread of destruction before it’s too late. For mature audiences only! 2016; 95 min.
