ABOUT THE FILM

"Two fearless queer artists defy the odds and create with unapologetic passion.

Set against the backdrop of a divided society, this powerful film invites you into the lives of Kenny Lockwood and Darlene Van Alstyne - artists who came achingly close to fame, yet never stopped making bold, beautiful work.

Brimming with creativity and urgency, this is more than a portrait - it's a call to action, a celebration of freedom, and a tribute to art’s power to endure."
