When his best friend and creative partner suddenly couples off and moves away, an ambitious New York drag queen determined for the limelight must reinvent himself or risk becoming an irrelevant solo act both onstage and off in Provincetown filmmaker Todd Flaherty’s charming debut feature, CHRISSY JUDY. Flaherty will present the movie and do Q&As at select screenings beginning April 14th at Waters Edge Cinema.
After world premiering at the 2022 Provincetown International Film Festival, CHRISSY JUDY has gone on the play dozens of film festivals around the world to rave reviews.
