Freak Show

Billy Bloom is a gay and eccentric teenage boy whose self-expression knows no bounds when it comes to fashion and elaborate homages. When his mother checks into rehab, he relocates to an elegant boarding school in the deep south of Florida for his final year of high school. Billy’s flamboyant ways draw resistance from students and the ultra-conservative faculty, only encouraging him to increase the outrageousness of his outfits. After an incident of insidious bullying, Billy makes the decision to run for homecoming queen. The campaign draws wide attention to Billy’s advocacy for all teenagers letting their freak flag fly. Discussion with director Trudie Styler and producer Celine Rattray, moderated by Mitch Levine
