Pride month is definitely kicking off to a great start with the trailer for the documentary “To Decadence With Love, Thanks for Everything!” which gives us a behind the scenes look at Southern Decadence through the eyes of local drag artists Leveau Contraire and Franky Canga, who also serve as executive producers.
Directed by Stuart Sox, the film sheds a light on the queer performers of color who are often overlooked when it cones to expressing their art of drag.
The director reveals that his initial idea was to tell the story of the event itself and its history in New Orleans, “but I eventually realized what I really found fascinating were the people who make Southern Decadence what it is.”
“This documentary is a reminder that we’re here and we’re not going anywhere!,” adds Sox.
After premiering at the 2020 New Orleans Film Festival (where it was jury-awarded), To Decadence With Love spent 2021 screening at film festivals across the country. The film is now widely available across streaming platforms and lands on the Starz channel today, June 1, so definitely check it out.
