Hurricane Bianca which stars Bianca Del Rio, tells the story of a high school teacher in a small town in Texas who loses his job once it’s discover he is gay. So what’s a gay guy to do when something like this happens? Get dressed up in drag and return disguised as a mean lady to get revenge on everyone in the town, of course. The movie is currently shooting on location in Dallas and the cast includes the hilarious SNL alum Rachel Dratch (above) and the one-and-only Alan Cumming.
The crowdsourced indie film was written by, and is being directed by, Matt Kugelman and the project hopes to make people laugh while highlighting LGBT discrimination and employment equality. says Roy Haylock, the man behind Bianca says;
“My hope is that Hurricane Bianca will change minds and bring awareness to the issue. The film deals with a serious topic in a comedic way.
I really can’t tell you how my character gets his revenge, but give me forty bucks and I’ll get you a scratched DVD with behind the scenes footage, which is just me getting into drag.”
It’s been a BIG year for both Roy and Bianca. Since winning RuPaul’s Drag Race, Bianca has toured the world with her comedy show, Rolodex of Hate and was recently named one of “10 Comics to Watch” by Variety. We’ll keep you posted for the premiere but look for Hurricane Bianca in 2016.
