Willa Justice, Drag Queen Private Eye is one camp nonsensical queer low budget film that logic tells us we should not like BUT we cannot stop happily grinning through the whole 15 mins. Its set in the Mohave Desert in Twentynine Palms, California and is being screened aspart of the First Annual 29 Queer Film Festival in that city .
Willa (aka Lady Chilane) is in a gay Bar getting wasted whlst bemoaning the loss of her dead boyfriend Jamie Bondopolous (Scott Turner Schofield) Her feeling-sorry-for-herself-drunken-stupor is interrupted when she learns that a straight couple have been killed in the clubs bathroom, Thankfully, as Willa is the world’s greatest private investigator she jumps in and with the help of trustworthy chicken, Doctor Eggs, sets off determined to find the killer.
As its one of those movie where the plot is irrelevant and Jamie coming back from the dead seems totally normal , we still must give full credit to the cinematographer: Graham Kolbeins for their creative camerawork. Also to Olive for her acting debut as Doctor Eggs and making the character seem so real.
PS The movie will also be screening at Out On Film : Atlantas LGBTQ Film Fest
