"THE FILM IS GRANDIOSE, GORGEOUS AND ABOVE ALL ELSE GAY."
- Paper Magazine
Tom C J Brown creates a delicious, modernist queer daydream reinterpreting the 60’s classic song “Cousin Jane” by the Troggs. Stemming from his vision of what a wonderful queer, non-binary and non-conforming world we could all live in and aspire to, he engaged Hilton Dresden, performer/writer/influencer, to both re-record the Andood arranged song, and star as the lovesick and restless heroine of the film.
