Short Synopsis: Through the compelling stories of 8 performers in the unexpected, thriving drag scene of midwestern America’s Columbus, Ohio, KINGS, QUEENS, & IN-BETWEENS dives into the next frontier — the important and often misunderstood topic of “gender” itself. A fresh take on the traditional ethnographic doc, KQIB includes multiple voices to form a larger picture and address important issues of diversity. With humor, pathos, and great music, KQIB makes a complex subject approachable for mainstream audiences — inviting viewers into a conversation about the distinct differences between gender, sex, and sexuality that has not been represented in film before. With the increasing headline & cultural attention to the topic of gender, this is a perfect moment for KQIB.
