A couple of months ago we stumbled upon a extraordinary and wonderfully exhilarating short movie called “Stance” about ‘drag boxing’ which was set in a Working Men’s Club in London. It literally blew our fishnets off. It was made by Joseph Wilson a 27 year-old Brit filmmaker who is one of the leading figures in the alternative drag movement that is currently revitalizing the East End. We finally caught up with him in a cafe in Hackney recently and talked to him about how his very first movie “Drag Is My Ecstasy” has literally become his mantra and his life these days too. He doesn’t just possess an exceptional talent but he’s quite the charmer too.
Whilst we edit our detailed interview to publish very soon, take a peak at this trailer of his showreel to discover why we are so excited about Joseph Wilson.
