This revolutionary DIY parody film follows an unconfident, closeted trans girl as she moves to Gotham City to make it big as a comedian in a world where comedy has been outlawed. Mainstream success eludes our heroine, leading her to unite with a ragtag team of rejects and misfits on a collision course with the city's fascist caped crusader. Vats of feminizing chemicals, sexy cartoon interludes, scarecrow psychiatrists, and psychedelic gender dysphoria all play supporting roles. Helmed by writer/director/editor/star Vera Drew and using her own life experiences as a basis for the film, The People's Joker is a deeply personal journey that's as much documentary as it is parody.
Featuring a superhero-sized cast of celebrated comedic talent in both voice and live action roles behind the vibrant kaleidoscope of characters that lampoon the iconic heroes and villains of the DC comics’ world, featuring cameos from Tim Heidecker, Bob Odenkirk, Maria Bamford, and Scott Aukerman, alongside Vera Drew, Lynn Downey, Nathan Faustyn, and Kane Distler. (USA, 2022, 92 mins, English | Dir. Vera Drew)
Pride Cinema, Co-Presented with the CAC Committee for Gender Awareness & Empowerment
