The People's Joker

A subversive queer and trans coming-of-age origin story.

The film that defied a major Hollywood studio. Writer, director, and editor Vera Drew enlists the assistance of 100 different artists — blending live action, 2D animation, stop-motion, and CGI — to create a hilarious and deeply personal riff on superhero movies, gender identity, stand-up comedy, and the power of a good laugh.
