Iris Prize Podcast S2: - Laura Tunbridge (Dragged Up)

Following a teenager who uses Drag to show her family who she really is, ‘Dragged Up’ was written and directed by Laura Jayne Tunbridge. Laura explains how she didn’t have a queer community around her growing up, and that her experience with being closeted helped to inspire many of the ideas in her film. Primarily a screenwriter, Laura’s experience at Yale University helped to give her the freedom to think about her own sexuality, and make films such as ‘Dragged Up’, which she hopes to make feature-length one day.
