Nightgowns series
Nightgowns is coming to Quibi in 2020! Part performance documentary, part portrait of the artist, we’ll watch Sasha work with each member of her weird and wonderful ensemble to craft the lip sync performances of their wildest dreams. Each installment draws us to one performer in particular, and reveals their daily life, process, and backstory, culminating in a 2-3 minute made-for-mobile visual expression of their live number, directed by legendary music video director Sophie Muller. The result will be something new: live drag, designed for the screen. Iconic, shareable, must-watch performances that redefine what drag can be.
The series debuts in 2020, Executive Produced by Sasha Velour and produced by the Academy Award-nominated producers at The Documentary Group.
